The hit TV show, Peaky Blinders, has inspired the names of newborns across the United Kingdom with names such as Arthur and Ada showing a significant upsurge.

The Office for National Statistics showed that Arthur regained a top 10 place in UK baby names while Ada joined the top 100 girls names in the UK.

Peaky Blinders is set in early 20th Birmingham and centers in on the Shelby family, an organised crime unit who essentially control the Midlands city.

The series stars Irish actor Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby, the star of the show. The 5th season of Steven Knights show returned to our screens on Sunday on BBC.

The show has gone from strength to strength since it began back in 2013 and has since gained millions of fans around the world with Murphy’s performance in particular receiving critical praise.

Meanwhile, the Irish stick by Sean and Aiden because they’re all a sound bunch of lads and wouldn’t name a child after a TV character (only joking any English readers ;)) while Siobhan and Ava top the most popular girl names in Ireland according to www.babynamesofireland.com.
