2017 was a busy year for babies in South Australia! According to Consumer and Business services, there were 18,400 births registered last year – 9,529 bouncing baby boys and 8,871 gorgeous baby girls.
Charlotte took out the top spot for girls while Oliver ruled the baby boy name throne. These two names have remained at the top for six and five years in a row, respectively. Other names you can expect to hear on the playground include William, Jack, Noah, Ava, Isla and Harper.
While many parents stuck to the traditional, not all parents did. Some of the more unusual names include Khaleesi, Temperance, Sparrow, Tora, Daenerys, Foxx, Cosmo, Keanu and Bowie. But in a blow to the state’s capital, only 10 parents named their babies Adelaide. This sweet, old-fashioned moniker limped in at number 150 for girls.
