Trending Baby Names for 2025 

Looking for a name that feels fresh yet timeless? Here are 5 Girls' names, 5 Boys' names and 2 unisex names that we think could be popular in 2025.

Girls:

The Year of the Snake: What it Means for Your Baby

Babies born in 2025 will be Snake babies in the Chinese Zodiac. Snake personalities are thought to be intelligent, charming, and intuitive - basically, they'll be the ones outsmarting their parents by the time they're three. Expect a tiny negotiator who knows just how to get that extra bedtime story! 

In Chinese culture, Snake years are associated with elegance and calmness, so while your baby might throw an epic tantrum, they'll likely be plotting their next big move with strategic precision. Fun times ahead! Good luck!

How the Chinese Zodiac Works: Each year corresponds to one of 12 animals with 5 elements, creating a 60 year cycling. Year 2025 element is wood. The Snake's turn comes every 12 years, making 2025 their time to shine. Fun fact: Snake babies are believed to bring calmness and elegance to their surroundings - a nice balance to all that new-parent chaos! 

Generation Beta

If you're expecting a baby in 2025, Congratulations! They will be one of the first born into Generation Beta! Spanning from 2025 to 2039, Generation Beta is set to grow up in a world like unlike any other.

What's even more incredible? Most of Generation Beta will live to see the 22nd Century. Imagine your 2025 baby sharing stories about life in the 2020's with future generations, possibly while flying in solar-powered air taxis or communicating through virtual holograms! 

This perspective adds even more significance to your parenting journey, as you'll be shaping a generation poised to lead the way into the an exciting future. 

Pantone's Colour of the Year: 2025

The Pantone Colour of the Year for 2025 is Pantone 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, a rich, warming brown hue that embodies both elegance and earthiness. 

Nursery Inspiration: Incorporate Macha Mousse into your baby's nursery by painting an accent wall or selecting furniture in this comforting shade. Pair it with neutral tones like cream or soft pastels to create a serene and inviting environment. Adding textured elements, such as a plush Mocha Mousse - coloured rug or curtains, can enhance the room's warmth and coziness. 

Clothing Ideas: Dress your little one in outfits featuring Mocha Mousse to keep them stylish and on-trend. This versatile colour works well for both boys and girls and can be easily paired with other hues. Consider Mocha Mousse onesies, jumpers, or accessories like hats and booties to add a touch of sophistication to your baby's wardrobe. 

By embracing Mocha Mousse in your nursery décor and baby's clothing, you'll create a harmonious and fashionable environment that reflects the latest design trends. 

Babies Born in 2025 Will Be 18 in 2043 

It's wild to think about, but your 2025 baby will be graduating high school and heading into adulthood in 2043. What kind of world will they grow up in? Let's dream big and have some fun: 

• Technology: They'll probably laugh at your attempts to explain what wi-fi was because by 2043, they'll have neural internet connections. ("Wait, you couldn't think a message to someone? How vintage!")
• Fashion: Nostalgia will come full circle, so don't be surprised if they're rocking 2020's-inspired outfits with a futuristic twist. 
• Environment: Your eco-conscious parenting will pay off - they'll likely live in a world where sustainability is second nature.
