If you’re hoping to raise the next Alan Sugar or Deborah Meaden, you might want to consider what you name your baby.
An analysis by digital marketing experts atAdd Peoplehas revealed what they’ve dubbed “the most successful baby names” of 2023, after identifying the most common names for business owners in the UK and matching them up with popular baby names trends for 2023.
“Studies find that a name can correlate to academic performance, behaviour and hiring so choosing the right name for your child is a major choice they will carry with them their whole lives,” said Peter Marshall, Add People’s chief marketing officer.
A2011 LinkedIn studyfound that men with shorter names are overrepresented in top management positions, while women more often use the full version of their name in high-level jobs – and this new analysis found a similar pattern.

Three of the most common names for female entrepreneurs featured below the top UK’s 20 most popular female baby names, compared with none of the most common names for male entrepreneurs.
“Having worked with thousands of small business owners over the years, it’s interesting to see patterns in their names that could reflect their drive and commitment to building their own companies,” Marshall concluded.
