Louise Baty
Freelance Writer
Originally from West Yorkshire and now based in Nottinghamshire, Louise Baty has worked as a features writer for consumer magazines and national newspapers for 20 years. She specialises in baby names, parenting and lifestyle features for Mumsnet, and has authored four non-fiction books on parenting and grandparenting.
Mum to two tweenagers, Louise’s own baby name choosing days may be long gone. However, she admits to having spent a long time deciding on her children's names, together with her partner.
For this reason, Louise has a particular interest in baby names. She understands how difficult it can be to narrow down a short list from your long list of baby names, either during pregnancy or during the sleep-deprived days following the birth of your baby.
By compiling comprehensive and easy-to-follow baby name round-ups for Mumsnet, she hopes to provide inspiration and support to parents-to-be who are looking for the perfect name for their baby.
