Names of the Women Who Will Most Likely Have a Baby in 2024

If your name is on this list, it could mean a baby is on the cards. We’ve predicted the top 40 names of the women who are already pregnant or will become pregnant in the next few months.

How do we know? We don’t know anything for sure (I mean, who does??). But we do have a fun way to guess the names of mums welcoming a baby in 2024.

Here’s how we figured it out:

In Australia, the average age of a mum is 31.1 years. This means that women who are 31 right now have the greatest chance of falling pregnant.

If you are 31 right now, then you were born in either 1992 or 1993, right?

So, to uncover the names of the women who are 31 this year (and thus most likely to conceive), all we had to do was track down the list of the most popular Australian baby names of 1992 and 1993. Which, thanks to the internet, we did.

Drum roll, please. Here are the names of the women most likely to be welcoming a baby in 2024:

1. Jessica	21. Elizabeth
2. Sarah	22. Danielle
3. Samantha	23. Amanda
4. Rebecca	24. Hayley
5. Emily	25. Natasha
6. Emma	26. Chloe
7. Lauren	27. Cassandra
8. Stephanie	28. Sophie
9. Amy	29. Brooke
10. Laura	30. Ashley
11. Hannah	31. Caitlin
12. Rachel	32. Michelle
13. Ashleigh	33. Megan
14. Georgia	34. Lisa
15. Nicole	35. Olivia
16. Kate	36. Jade
17. Alexandra	37. Taylor
18. Brittany	38. Kayla
19. Melissa	39. Erin
20. Natalie	40. Courtney
