Move over Oliver and Isla, Noah and Charlotte have taken over NSW’s top baby names for 2024.
Parents across the state have delivered eight new names into the Top 100 baby names list, showcasing the latest trends in the names being chosen for our newest residents.
Breaking into the top 100 for the first time are boys’ names Louie, Ibrahim, Myles, Matteo, Grayson, Maverick and Malakai, with Lainey making the list for the girls.
Charlotte claimed top spot, jumping up from 5th in 2023, while Noah nails it for the boys, beating previous favourite Oliver.
It represents a first entry into the top 10 for Hazel, with Harper making the cut again after six years.
Making room for these newcomers, Lily, Ava, and Matilda were pushed out of the top 10 altogether.
The biggest mover for the girls is Lainey, jumping an impressive 78 places as this year’s rising star, with Elodie making a significant gain, climbing 62 spots.
For boys, a notable shift in the rankings includes Elijah, making an entrance into the top 10, climbing six places to secure 10th. Meanwhile, William dropped out of the top 10 for the first time in 27 years.
While Grayson jumped 63 places to 93rd and Louie leapt 46 places to reach number 65, Elias experienced the biggest drop, falling 28 places to 87th, with Hunter not far behind, dropping 24 places to 49th.
“These trends show the baby name landscape in NSW continues to be diverse, with parents embracing both modern and timeless choices.” said Minister for Customer Service and Digital Government Jihad Dib.
