Theodore, Hudson and Luca are among the top 10 most popular names for boys in Australia for the first time. Oliver remains the most popular male name. Isla now leads as the most common girls' name.
Girl's names tend to rank lower and make up a smaller percentage of all names. The top names overlap between Australia and the United Kingdom, with diverging popularity trends.
Guardian Australia combines datasets from states and territories to analyze popular baby names, revealing diversity and historical trends. Many top names historically draw from the Hebrew Bible.
The dataset includes names primarily of European origin, with some exceptions like Mohammed. There's a long tail of consistently popular names outside the top 100 rankings.
