Naming a baby is one of the most difficult tasks parents face, as the final pick will literally last a life time.
Many parents choose to name their bundles of joy after their parents, loved ones, historical figures and even their favourite celebrities.
Recent years have seen parents get a little more creative when thinking up potential baby names.
One baby-naming trend that is particularly popular is travel-related baby names - which sees parents naming their child after a favourite holiday destination, honeymoon spot - or even the city where they were conceived.
Parenting website Bounce set out to find the most popular destinations that double as baby names.
