20 baby names inspired by your favourite Bridgerton characters
Dearest reader, for those who are unaware, the much-anticipated Bridgerton prequel miniseries will be landing on our screens next week.
Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story will be launching on streaming service Netflix next Thursday, May 4. Personally, we couldn’t be more excited about it!
To celebrate this exciting new story in the Bridgerton-verse, we thought it was only right that we should take a trip down memory lane.
Below, we have cultivated a list of 20 of our favourite baby names, inspired by some of the most prominent Bridgerton characters. Whether it be the Sharmas, the Featheringtons, or the Bridgertons themselves, we guarantee that there will be a top pick in this list that will tickle your fancy.
So, have a scroll through these, and see if any of these would be the perfect fit for your incoming newborn:
