A professional baby namer says parents are now choosing monikers which sound "cool" as a TikTok or Instagram handle.

Steph Coffield, 40, is hired by parents-to-be to help them choose the perfect name for their child, and charges up to $500 a time.

The stay-at-home mum says uncommon baby names are becoming a lot more popular - and it has a lot to do with the increased presence of social media.

She says girls with masculine names and first names as surnamed are all trends to look out for.
