Australia's top baby names

Love to see traditional and modern names

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.:-/

Zoe is a lovely name

Some really lovely names, it is so hard to choose a name!!

I generally only like non popular names. But it's interesting to see how names become popular for a few years only to drop off the radar afterwards. My daughter's name isn't on the list, whereas my first son's name is at number 7 and my newborn son's also not on the list. I love more old fashioned names, and traditional names with a modern twist.

I remember my daughter's name soaring to top spot on the girls list, 10 years after she was born. And at the time, my MIL mentioning she liked the 'old fashioned' name we'd chosen, haha, it ended up so popular. She's turning 25 next week, and Hannah is still a fairly popular name, back in 1990 it definitely wasn't!

For my boys, one has a name that is unusual (but he really likes it!), and my youngest has a name I'd loved for a long time that isn't too common either.

Beautiful names

We named our little man Tyran after the dinosaur Tyrannosaurus. His daddy loves dinosaurs and i loved the "ty" names so it worked out well. Our little T-rex is now already 3 months old.

I always chose names that were different because mine was so common at school there were 3 of us on one class!

Oh love seeing the new names

My Doctor has a Harrison, he is 12 years old now.

Some lovely names

I'm kind of surprised how traditional most of these names are

I would not have guessed matilda... A lot of these names don't seem that popular, but then some do. I will definitely be at a loss when naming a baby comes around for me.

I haven't had the opportunity of choosing names because I don't have children. If I did, I would choose something that was not old-fashioned or traditional, but also nothing too weird.

Some lovely names here.

I'm surprised Abigail is not on the list of girls names. A few people I know in the last couple of years have chosen it. At first I didn't like it but it's grown on me.

My name is never going to be on one of these lists. Thankfully. I doubt that I'll have children now but it's unlikely that I'd pick a particularly popular name. I was going to have a little boy a decade or so ago and his name would have been Dylan (after Bob Dylan).

I love most of those names! Its so hard to choose something unique yet classy. When we chose our daughters name we knew of no others and now we've come across about 10! Currently pregnant with number 2 and struggling to find a great name we can agree on.

I haven't met many Matilda's.. surprised it's in the top 20! The girl names are very feminine :)

Yay, my kids names haven't made it! I know 3 Amelia's and 2 Sophia's all born in the last 12 months! Happy my cherubs names aren't there.

Oliver/olivia. I guess it doesn't matter whether you have a baby girl or baby boy.

Lachlan is number I see, my sons name is lachlan, nice list

I have never seen my name any where! It is only now l see it very occasionally and it always by someone about 20 - 40 years younger than me.

Nice to see that normal traditional names are making a come back.
