It’s the moment we’ve been waiting for – trend-watchers McCrindle have released their annual report detailing baby name patterns in Australia.
They’ve revealed the official top 100 baby names of 2024, along with trends that have developed over the past year.
As McCrindle report: “Analysing baby names uncovers fascinating insights about society, with naming trends often becoming generational markers for those born within a certain time frame.”
In 2023, just over 70,000 babies were born in Australia. Despite the slight decrease in births, ten new names have entered Australia’s top 100 baby names, signaling dynamic shifts in naming trends among parents.
This year’s additions represent a slight decrease from twelve newcomers in 2022 but underscore how quickly naming preferences can evolve annually. Notably, Miles made a striking debut at 48th place, vaulting from 101st in 2022, marking one of the most noteworthy new entries.
Of course, the names featured at the top of the charts are popular for a reason – they are great names.
But if you’re looking for a cute name that isn’t as common, this report has some interesting findings – including names that have dropped out of the top 100. These are names that people have heard of and know how to spell, but you’re guaranteed there won’t be a classroom full of kids with that name either.
The report also identified baby names that still appear in the top 100 but people aren’t using as much anymore.
By staying updated with these trends, you can find a unique and beautiful name for your baby that’s not overly common but still well-loved.
