Top Baby Names in Australia 2021

Welcome to the baby names of Generation Alpha! We’re going to take a look into the most popular baby names Aussie parents are choosing for their new bundles of joy in 2021. With most of the babies being born to Millennial parents, social media as well as family and friends are playing a huge role in how they name their new bubs. 


The winner is...

Well, it looks like Oliver and Charlotte are still reigning champs for the 8th year in a row! With more traditional names such as Amelia and Olivia tracking closely behind along with Noah and William also reflecting a traditional tune.

Gender neutral names have been used for years, but with the progression of no longer defining personal identity and gender amongst millennials, the desire to choose a gender neutral name is on the rise.
