Ok so I'm not the world's biggest football fan although there is something special about a big tournament and the hope it holds..... however there is something else grabbing my attention with the football....

Turns out the World Cup has provided me with some genuinely lovely baby names! From classic English favourites to international names I’d absolutely save for later.

If you’re pregnant, building a baby name list, love finding unusual names, or just enjoy collecting ideas for future babies… I’ve done the research for you 💛

I wonder how many babies will be named after footballers this year?!

Which name are you stealing first?

Looking for baby name inspiration?

These are some of the little names I've recently embroidered onto personalised baby cardigans for customers.

Whether you're announcing your baby's name, planning a pregnancy announcement, shopping for a baby shower gift or looking for a personalised keepsake for a new arrival, a name cardigan is a lovely way to celebrate those early months.

All of my cardigans are hand knitted and embroidered by hand to order, with a choice of colours and embroidery shades (53!)

If you're buying as a gift, I often recommend choosing 0–3 months or 3–6 months. Newborn outfits can be quickly outgrown, whereas a slightly larger size gives baby chance to wear it for family visits, first outings and all those photos once life feels a little less chaotic.

Which name from the carousel is your favourite?

After embroidering thousands of baby names, this colour combination is still one of the most requested.

Cream or white knits with rose pink or smokey rose embroidery 💕

This keepsake knit is an absolute classic combo that suits any outfit too so a good option for lots of wear.

If you're currently expecting, choosing a baby name, shopping for a baby shower gift or looking for a personalised newborn outfit, you'll probably spot a few ideas here. Swipe through for some recent favourites 🤍

I've also added a few currently available cardigans at the end if you're looking for inspiration.

I genuinely can't decide which is better...

Finding out your baby's gender during pregnancy, or waiting until birth for the surprise? 🤍

With my eldest, I didn't find out. I was only 19 and I still remember that moment when he arrived and we finally discovered whether we'd had a boy or a girl. There really is something special about that surprise 🩵

With the twins, nearly 20 years later, we found out. Mainly because there were two babies to prepare for! 👶👶

Had it been one baby? Honestly, I'm still not sure what we'd have done.

So now I'm curious...

Did you find out your baby's gender during pregnancy, or wait until birth?

And if you had another baby tomorrow, would you make the same choice again?

One of my favourite things about personalised baby cardigans is that they work beautifully Whether you know the gender or not - also with typical turnaround at 2-5 days I can get their knit sent out as soon as you know!

I've spent almost 5 years making personalised baby cardigans for baby showers, newborn gifts and baby name announcements...

But I've never actually directly asked this..... 😬 (nervous now!)

If someone gave you a personalised baby cardigan with your baby's name embroidered on the back, would you be genuinely pleased?!

Or is this the sort of baby gift people politely pretend to love but secretly sort of hate...

Be honest. I can take it. 🫣
