The top 10 most popular baby names in New South Wales hasn’t changed a lot in the past decade. With Noah, Oliver, Charlotte, Amelia, William and Olivia maintaining their spots as the most popular baby names in NSW. There were only two newcomers in 2018 – Liam (number 7 on the list) nudging out Henry which has slipped to 12th spot for boys and Harper (number 9 on the list) ousting Zoe which dropped to 13th place for girls.
Attorney General Mark Speakman said the baby name list provides an interesting insight into families and communities across NSW. “While traditional names dominate the top 10, we have seen a significant increase in the popularity of Muhammad (63rd in 2017 to 24th in 2018) and Ali (64th in 2017 to 41st in 2018) reflecting the diversity of our state,” Mr Speakman commented.

A final list of the top 100 baby names will be released by April 2019.
