The top Australian and New Zealand baby names are in, according to the current BONDS Baby Search taking the country by storm! So far there have been well over 115,000 entries and these names are the most popular entrants.
But we’re not just talking about baby names here – we’ve also tracked down the fave names for our furbabies and most popular names of pregnant mums too!
While the official most popular names of 2021 are set for release later this year (we will have the results ready ASAP), we are incredibly surprised to see the frontrunners.
Most popular names in BONDS Baby Search
In the girls’ list, there is no Charlotte at all and Olivia is all the way down at #9 although these were the top two girls’ names of 2020.
Mila, Ivy, Harper and Evie all landed a top spot.
As for the boys’ side of things, there were a few surprises in the top 10 too including Luca, Levi, and Hudson – all names that have never featured in the top ten before but continue to make their way up the charts every year.
However, Oliver topped the list, which makes sense as Oliver is currently the most popular baby boy name in Australia.
The pets’ names are even more surprising with plenty of popular girls’ names taking the top spots including Luna, Bella and Willow. Charlie made ALL three lists! – boys, girls and pets.
And the most popular names for pregnant women? Sarah. Lauren. Laura and Jessica. Check out how this compares to the names of women most likely to have a baby in 2021.
