According to the government of Northern Territory, Australia, the most popular baby names in NT in 2020 were Charlotte and William .
Here are Northern Territory’s top 10 girl names and top 10+ boy names of 2020:
Girl Names
Charlotte, 15 baby girls Olivia, 14 Isla, 12 (tie) Matilda, 12 (tie) Amelia, 10 (5-way tie) Grace, 10 (5-way tie) Hazel, 10 (5-way tie) Mia, 10 (5-way tie) Willow, 10 (5-way tie) Violet, 9
Boy Names
William, 20 baby boys Jack, 16 Oliver, 15 Lucas, 14 Alexander, 12 Henry, 11 (3-way tie) James, 11 (3-way tie) Noah, 11 (3-way tie) Hudson, 10 (3-way tie) Isaac, 10 (3-way tie) Thomas, 10 (3-way tie)
On the boys’ side, Thomas is followed by an 8-way tie involving two names I don’t usually see in the rankings: Billy and Mayson. Mayson is especially interesting because the more traditional spelling, Mason, hasn’t made the list for the last two years (after ranking as high as 2nd in 2017 ).
In 2019 , the top two names in NT were Grace and Oliver.
