Has your baby’s name set them up for stardom? – The most popular names among male and female showbiz stars
So its over…and the search for the next Reality Star begins…
Kim Kardashian shocked fans on instagram this week that her family’s iconic reality show is ending after 14 years on air.
Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which helped make Kim and her siblings Kourtney, Khloe, Kylie and Kendall household names and launched a very lucrative career in the fashion and beauty business, will air its last season next year.
So will we be seeing the next Kourtney, Khloe, Kylie or Kendall? What’s in a name? It’s an age-old question.
Social scientists have suggested that names can create a ‘self-fulfilling prophecy’, where individuals want to live up to or even emulate the careers or lifestyle of those who share their name.

Reality stars such as Chris Hughes from Love Island and Jess Wright and Lauren Gooder from The Only Way Is Essex have all achieved millionaire status since first appearing on their TV shows, and are reportedly worth £1.4 million, £2.6 million and £2.1 million respectively.
They are not the only ones; Tommy is also among the top-earning names, with Tommy Fury reportedly worth a massive £31.5 million since leaving Love Island.
Spencer James, founder of WhatAreTheOdds.co.uk, said,
“As a parent, of course you want your child to have the best things in life, and at a time when showbiz and social media fame can result in million pound fortunes, it’s no surprise that mums and dads would turn to reality television for baby name inspiration. Every year we are seeing newcomers carve out careers in the spotlight, enjoying the various benefits that come along with reality TV stardom, which is why we’ve created this list.
“Who knows why there’s such a common theme with certain names, but the data does show that people with these names seem to enjoy a great deal of success! There seems to be a lot more to a name than we initially thought, and if it can give people a head start, it might be something worth considering for expectant parents.”
