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

Here’s what I came up with:

Possible top girl names (Australia, 2024)Possible top boy names (Australia, 2024)
1. Charlotte
2. Amelia
3. Isla		1. Oliver
2. Noah
3. Theodore

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

P.S. I guessed that Isla and Oliver were the #1 names in the country in 2023…
