Here are Northern Territory’s 2014 rankings.

Update, 8/22/2016: Just learned that, technically, the top baby name in NT last year was “not stated.”

Why? Because parents of ninety of the nearly 4,000 babies born in 2015 weren’t able to get a name registered within NT’s 60-day naming deadline.

Most of these parents simply weren’t able to decide in time. Others did decide in time, but the names they chose were rejected by the registrar.

Emily, the #1 girl name in 2014, was knocked out of the top 10 entirely in 2015. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that happen before, at least for a region of this size.

New to the top 10 are Ruby and Lachlan. Gone are Emily, Ella, Lucas and Jacob. (There were 11 names on each list last year, thanks to ties.)
