Overview
- JoJo Maman Bébé partnered with baby‑naming expert Colleen Slagen (@namingbebe) to release a 2026 trend forecast announced on Instagram earlier this month.
- The predictions point to a revival of vintage, nickname‑style choices over formal versions, with examples such as Romy, Goldie, Kitty, Louie and Archie.
- A cottage‑core theme is highlighted with suggested names including Edie, Willa, Hattie, Percy, Sonny, Franklin and Augustine.
- A separate “granola baby” list promotes nature‑led picks like Coast, Sunny, Juniper, Fox, Oak, Cherry, Dove and Fern.
- Media outlets including the Mirror, Bristol Live and Wales Online reported the lists today, framing them as guidance tied to a wider nostalgia trend sometimes described online as 2026 being the new 2016.
