You might be surprised... - by Penelope Kilby
  • 15 Apr 2019

Are you all about following trends, or are you a trailblazing individual?

The most popular BABY NAMES of the past decade

The NSW government has released their stats on the Top 10 baby names from the past decade - and thanks to a certain royal or two, classic and conventional is best!

For a fifth year in a row, Oliver is the most popular boys name in NSW, and Charlotte the most popular for baby girls.

In fact, in 2018, 600 Olivers were born and 530 Charlottes!

William comes in at number-two for boys - thanks Prince William - alongside Amelia for the girls.

And yes, William and Harry have a cousin named Lady Amelia Windsor - we're sensing a trend here!

Princess Charlotte reigns supreme!
