Picking out a name for a baby is serious business, but a new surveyfrom parenting site ChannelMum finds new moms and dads are ditching old standards like Elizabeth and Joseph for something more original. They asked 1,772 parents about baby names and a third say unique names will make kids feel special, as well as help them stand out on social media.
