The NSW Government has released the list of the top 100 most popular baby names in the state for 2025.
The list of the top names for babies born last year is the latest edition from the Births, Deaths and Marriages Registry, with eight names entering the top 100 for the first time.
The list reflects a new trend towards more unique but meaningful names.
“While classic names remain strong, it’s exciting to see new names breaking through and becoming part of the next generation,” Customer Service and Digital Government Minister, Jihad Dib, said.
“Choosing a name is a very special time for families and it’s always interesting to see the names that will shape classrooms, communities and futures across NSW.
“With eight new names entering the Top 100, it’s clear NSW parents are increasingly looking for names that stand out while still holding meaning.”
Fletcher, Rory, August and Micah are the new boy names which made the list, while the new girl names include Amira, Mabel, Maggie and Celine.
Births, Deaths and Marriages Registrar Theresa Fairman naming trends have continued to change over the decade.
“NSW’s favourite baby names have changed dramatically over the past seven decades, with new data revealing that almost all of the top names from 1952 have now disappeared from the Top 100,” she said.
