Choosing the best name for your kid is a big choice! It’s only when you’re trying to brainstorm names that you realise just how many people you don’t like!
But this year in 2022, the previous most popular girl's name has been dethroned.
According to new BabyCentre research, the top 100 newborn boy and girl names of the year have been inspired by a wide range of sources from reality tv, to the endless amount of lists and forums.
Parents registered their baby names on the BabyCentre website over the last year, and the results are in.
Sophia has taken the top slot while last year's most popular name, Olivia, slipped into third place. Lily also overtook Olivia to move into second place.
