The names of the women most likely to become pregnant next year have been revealed.

While it might sound like improbable soothsaying, Closer claims to have calculated the probability on basis of women’s names and ages.

Their calculation is based on the fact that the average woman is 29.8 years old when she has her first child. From this, it can be established that women born between 1987 and 1988 are the most likely to give birth next year.

From census records revealing the most popular girls’ names in those years, the final list of names can be arrived at.

The top 10 names predicted as having a child in 2017 are:

1. Jessica

2. Amy

3. Jade

4. Rebecca

5. Charlotte

6. Hannah

7. Lauren

8. Sophie

9. Emily

10. Sarah
