The top baby names of 2016 revealed
Updated | By Jane Linley-Thomas
East Coast Breakfast’s co-host Natarah knew something we didn’t know! Her baby's name made the list – did yours?
Ooooh, I love a unique name, even still now I ogle over names that are different.
Every day while pregnant, both times, I would bombard Mike with a string of name suggestions as he arrived home, or over the phone or while lying in bed. 'Mike what about...', or 'what about...'.
Eventually deciding on Cooper, Rocco, and Lula, a far cry from Michael and Jane.
