Yahoo Finance Revealed: The baby names that earn the most cash
Every parent wants to secure the best future for their child. But while most would think that comes down to upbringing or schooling, it turns out there’s something you can do right from the minute they’re born: pick the right name.
New research commissioned by Compare.bet has unveiled the most lucrative baby names - that is, the names that earn the most money.
More than 7,000 Aussies were surveyed and asked to reveal their profession and their salary, and the results are in: Ella is the most lucrative girl’s name, and Elijah is the most lucrative boy’s name.
Ellas earn an average of $112,174 and are most likely to be creative directors, while Elijahs, Eliahs and Elijas earn an average of $107,386 and are most likely to be financial advisers.
According to the data, if you want your son or daughter to be a doctor, you should name them Liam or Ava. Alternatively, if you want them to be journalists, you should name them Evelyn or Noah.
Most Mias turned out to be receptionists, while most Thomas’ turned out to be retail assistants.
Alexanders and Olivers went into trades like plumbing or mechanics, while Sophies and Emilys went into marketing and advertising.
