Here are the rankings, ordered by total number of births per region (highest to lowest):

Australia overall

Using the data above, let’s make a guess about Australia’s top baby names overall.

Here’s what I came up with:

Possible top girl names (Australia, 2023)Possible top boy names (Australia, 2023)
1. Isla
2. Amelia
3. Charlotte
4. Olivia
5. Mia		1. Oliver
2. Noah
3. Henry
4. Leo
5. Theodore

What are your thoughts on these? (Which names would you have put at the top?)

P.S. I guessed that Charlotte and Oliver were the #1 names in the country in 2022…
