Could the little bundle of joy in your life be set up for success based on his name?

According to researchers looking into Bloomberg's top 500 billionaires, there are 10 baby names that keep popping up.

Julian Goldie, the research lead, said: "We were curious to see if there was any connection between names and billionaire status.

"So we analysed the Bloomberg Billionaire Index to uncover which names appear most frequently among the world's wealthiest individuals.

"The results might give expectant parents a head start in setting their little ones up for future financial success."

Goldie and his team focused on the total number of billionaires sharing each name, along with their combined net worth and average wealth per person for their results.
