Top baby names of 2009: get the full list

#1 Unread post by weezypops » Wed Oct 27, 2010 2:51 pm

Olivia remains steady as the most popular girl's name and is joined by Oliver, up one place to top the poll of most popular baby names.

5201 Olivias and 7364 Olivers were registered in 2009 according to The Office for National Statistics annual ranking of baby names in England and Wales.

The fastest rise in popularity was seen by the girl's name Maisie which jumped 29 places from last year to the position of 34th most popular. Austin saw the biggest surge in popularity amongst the boys' names, up 60 to finally make an appearance in the top 100.

Some of the other newcomers onto the list are Archie, Jayden and Logan for the boys and for the girls, Summer and Scarlett, jumped into the top 25 of the rankings.

The regional data shows Jack and Oliver to be the top names across the UK apart from in the West Midlands where Mohammed takes the top spot for the boys. For the girls, Olivia and Sophie stay strong across England and Wales apart from the East where Chloe takes the top place.

The Office for National Statistics also has done a fantastic comparison tool to show how the baby name rankings differ from last year and over time since 1999.

This year we have the full list of the top 100 for boys and girls but also the breakdown by region, which shows some interesting differences. See what you can do with the data.
