潮不潮?英國父母現在給寶寶取名都用宜家傢俱名
The year has already seen baby-name trends galore, with gender-neutral monikers reigning supreme.
今年給寶寶取名的各種趨勢花樣紛呈，中性名字大行其道。And Baby Centre has now earmarked names inspired by Ikea as a potential new trend to sweep the nation.
“寶寶中心”日前發佈了受宜家家居啓發而取的寶寶名，據稱這將成爲在英國流行的新趨勢。The furniture manufacturer often chooses traditional Scandinavian names for its products with the Billy bookcase, Malm bed and Tarva wooden range among its most popular lines.
宜家公司常選擇傳統斯堪的納維亞名字給產品命名，最受歡迎的產品有比利書架、馬爾姆牀和塔爾瓦實木傢俱系列等等。
Writer Lucy BC suggests: 'Naming your baby after IKEA furniture might seem ridiculous at first glance, but don’t dismiss the idea!
作者露西-BC建議說：“給孩子取宜家傢俱名第一眼看似有點滑稽，不過不要拒絕這個想法。”'IKEA is known for the charming Scandinavian names it gives its products and many work surprisingly well as baby names.'
“我們都知道，宜家用美麗的斯堪的納維亞名字爲產品命名，其中很多也非常適合做寶寶名。”She goes on to suggest Malm, a name which has been used by Ikea for it's 'simple, streamlined design' bedroom range.
她繼續向大家推薦Malm（馬爾姆）這個名字，馬爾姆是宜家的一個臥室系列，“具有簡單、流線型的設計”。She also suggests Ingo, which is the male version to Inga or Inge, as well as Tarva, which also references their untreated solid wood range.
她還向大家推薦了Ingo（英格），對應的女性名字是Inga或者Inge，還有Tarva（塔爾瓦），都是未經處理的實木系列。However, not all names are completely unusual, with Cilla, Franklin, Tobias and Stefan among the names already more common in the UK.
但並非所有的名字都非比尋常。其中Cilla（奇拉）、Franklin（富蘭克林）、Tobias（託拜厄斯）和Stefan（斯特凡）在英國已經很常見。
While these stand in stark contrast to the more classic baby name trend predicted for 2018, they do fall in line with the trend of girl's names ending in A.
之前有預測說，今年寶寶取名將更加傳統，儘管這一趨勢與之大相徑庭，但確實與女寶寶名多以“a”字母結尾這一趨勢一致。In December, Mother and Baby magazine predicted gender neutral names would be huge, as well as predicting that names ending in 'a' such as Amelia and Ella would be popular for little girls.
去年12月，《媽媽和寶寶》雜誌預測說中性名字將大爲流行，以“a”結尾的女寶寶名字也將很受歡迎，比如Amelia和Ella。And the year's trend of Royal-inspired names looks set to continue, with Meghan and Harry top contenders ahead of the royal wedding next month.
今年受英國王室啓發而給寶寶取名的趨勢仍將繼續，在下月梅根和哈里即將大婚之際，他倆的名字也在家長給寶寶取名時最受歡迎。
