Science Proves Women With These Names Are More Likely To Get Pregnant In 2016

Did your name make the list?

There’s a list of things that can dictate whether you’re going to get pregnant next year.

Taking contraception, having a serious planning talk with your partner… or apparently your name (Thanks mum and dad)

The smart people over at Closer Online decided to take a look at the average age a woman gives birth for the first time, and found it to be roughly 28-29 years old.

How does this mean your name could hint at a baby bump over the next 12 months?

Well looking back at women born between 1986 and 1987, the team then tracked the most popular baby names for those two years.

Which means if your name is on the list, you could be welcoming your own bundle of joy this year.

So, while there’s no guarantee this will push you into motherhood, if your name is on this list, you’re apparently far more likely to fall pregnant in 2016 than anyone else:

1. Jessica

2.Ashley

3.Amanda

4.Jennifer

5.Sarah

6.Stephanie

7.Nicole/ Nicola

8.Heather

9.Elizabeth

10.Megan

11.Amber

12.Laura

13.Emma

14.Claire
