Most popular baby names in England for 2020 revealed
For the seventh year in a row, Oliver has once again topped the list of the most popular baby boy names in England and Wales, according to new data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
Olivia continues to be the most popular girls name too, taking the top spot for the fourth year running.
Emily dropped out of the top 10 girls names for the first time since 1984, and was replaced by Freya which saw its first foray into the top 10. Ella dropped out too and was replaced by Lily.
There were no new additional monikers added to the boy’s list.
In total, 4,932 babies were named Oliver in 2019, down from 5,390 the previous year.
Likewise, there were 4,082 newborn girls named Olivia last year, down from 4,598 in 2017.
David Corps, vital statistics outputs branch at the ONS, said: “Oliver and Olivia continued their reign as the top boys’ and girls’ names in 2019, but analysis shows choices in baby names can differ depending on the mother’s age.
“We found younger mothers opted for more modern girls’ names like Harper, which has seen a rise since the Beckhams named their daughter so in 2011, and shortened boys’ names like Freddie.
“In contrast, older mothers chose more traditional names such as Jack and Charlotte. Popular culture continues to influence the baby names landscape.
“Following Dua Lipa’s first UK number one single in 2017, the number of girls named Dua has doubled from 63 to 126 in 2019.”
