    Choosing a name for your baby isn’t a flippant decision. Unlike what muffin to order at the cafe, it should be a thoroughly discussed, well thought-out plan - and one that carefully considers all possible (and some cringe-worthy) nicknames.

    If you’ve got a little one on the way, first of all, congrats! The hard part’s (almost) over! Then comes the fun: choosing a name. It seems us Aussies adore classic names. Much like the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, we love the name Charlotte, with it coming in hot at number two out of 100 according to data sourced from the Births, Deaths and Marriages offices from each state and territory around the country.

    Oliver took out the top boys’ spot for the third year in a row, and there will be plenty of Olivias running around the playground in a few years’ time. Hey, at least we’re consistent!

    So without further ado, here are Australia’s top 20 baby names for boys and girls. And guys, though it’s not listed, feel free to use ‘Astrid’ - we predict it’ll be huge come 2016.

    Hello everyone, I am from Wembley, Britain. I want to write this testimony to tell others and thank Prophet Odunga for what he has done for me. I am married for 12 years now and i have given birth to 5 children but they all died within days and i was called all sort of names by my mother-in-law and this has made my marriage life very hectic and a burden of sorrow. I contacted Priest Odunga for help and i will say that he is a very strong spell caster and he indeed help me solve my problem. I saw his email in a testimony and i contacted him, little did i know it would be the end of all my problems. My husband even loved me more and bought me expensive things. One afternoon, i felt my womb moving and after 9 months i gave birth to a baby boy and now my boy is growing up. Ever since i contacted Prophet Odunga, my story has been different. Please, contact him at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com OR WhatsApp him +2348167159012 to help you

    My nieces' and nephews' names are on the lists too. I guess they're quite common nowadays.

    S-P 18 Aug 2019 8:47 PM

    I love all these names. My name's on the list too. ☺️

    I have used spell casting to get my ex husband back to me and also get pregnant with twins girls through the help of a great and trusted spell caster after 12 years of marriage.

    When I came online last year, I met a testimony about Priest ODUNGA who has been helping people and I decided to contact him. We spoke on email at (odungaspelltemple@gmail.com) and later he gave me his Whats App number which is +2348167159012 and he assured me he would help me get my ex husband back after 3 years of no contact. My husband left me because I was unable to give him a child for 9 years after our marriage. There was no contact between us anymore and I didn't know how to get to him. Priest Odunga is the best spell caster I must say. My husband called me after 24 hours of contacting Priest Odunga. Soon I received a herbal medicine for fertility from this man, I became fertile. I and my husband reconnected that very week, had sex and I became pregnant. Today, I am happy today to be the mother of twins girls and this is ALL THANKS TO PRIEST ODUNGA. I came online to say this If you need help, I believe you are saved with this spell caster. Contact his email at (odungaspelltemple@gmail.com) and you too will give a testimony too to help others

    I love the classic pretty names for girls. My daughter is Violet Belle. I also love Delilah and Evolet. For boys I love Presley and Lennon (music lover haha!)

    I love unique names. My sons name is Tristyn and my daughters name is Theia. I love spelling name differently

    I think outside the box when it comes to baby names, I've always like different names...my Dad used to say why can't you have Bill or Peter haha no I'm different I'd say. I had Natahn...no not Nathan, It sounds like Natarn then I have Eamon, then Chase and then I had a Trinity and a Denysha. I always get comments on how lovely their names are. My Dad was only alive for my first 3 and he referred to them as numb nuts, prayer boy and run after kid haha. He didn't much care for the originality

    onlyoni 3 Mar 2017 10:05 AM

    These are all lovely names. It's good to see so many traditional names on the list.

    Felix22 17 Jan 2017 1:37 AM

    I love old fashioned names like alice, betty and theodore, as well as classic names like william and john. Definitely choose a name and not alter the spelling to confuse everyone in the poor child's life though!

    Trinasmakeup 24 Dec 2016 2:41 PM

    Love some of these beautiful babie names

    Nys Silver 6 Dec 2016 10:00 PM

    My son's name is on the list. I have a really unusual name so I made sure my bub got a classic name.

    beauty_beauty 6 Nov 2016 10:51 PM

    blackkittykat 20 Sep 2016 8:21 PM

    Love to see traditional and modern names

    Margaret 322 22 Apr 2016 1:36 PM

    You have to take into consideration what the child's surname is going to be. I remember one poor boy suffering taunts while I was young at school. His name was Duncan Rose. The kids used to sing......dung can make the roses grow.............Duncan Rose..........not that I used to sing it.:-/
