父母給孩子取什么樣的名字，可能寄托了他們對(duì)孩子的期望。那么，你會(huì)給孩子取家具名嗎?英國(guó)“寶寶中心”網(wǎng)站推薦了一些宜家公司家具的名稱，或許將引領(lǐng)今年英國(guó)嬰兒取名流行趨勢(shì)。

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(shì)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(fā)布了受宜家家居啟發(fā)而取的寶寶名，據(jù)稱這將成為在英國(guó)流行的新趨勢(shì)。

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(tǒng)斯堪的納維亞名字給產(chǎn)品命名，最受歡迎的產(chǎn)品有比利書架、馬爾姆床和塔爾瓦實(shí)木家具系列等等。

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：“給孩子取宜家家具名第一眼看似有點(diǎn)滑稽，不過不要拒絕這個(gè)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為產(chǎn)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(xù)向大家推薦Malm(馬爾姆)這個(gè)名字，馬爾姆是宜家的一個(gè)臥室系列，“具有簡(jiǎn)單、流線型的設(shè)計(jì)”。

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(duì)應(yīng)的女性名字是Inga或者Inge，還有Tarva(塔爾瓦)，都是未經(jīng)處理的實(shí)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.

但并非所有的名字都非比尋常。其中Cilla(奇拉)、Franklin(富蘭克林)、Tobias(托拜厄斯)和Stefan(斯特凡)在英國(guó)已經(jīng)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(yù)測(cè)說，今年寶寶取名將更加傳統(tǒng)，盡管這一趨勢(shì)與之大相徑庭，但確實(shí)與女寶寶名多以“a”字母結(jié)尾這一趨勢(shì)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》雜志預(yù)測(cè)說中性名字將大為流行，以“a”結(jié)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(guó)王室啟發(fā)而給寶寶取名的趨勢(shì)仍將繼續(xù)，在下月梅根和哈里即將大婚之際，他倆的名字也在家長(zhǎng)給寶寶取名時(shí)最受歡迎。
