Perhaps NZ is a little ahead of the Australia trends considering names that left last year (2013) Ones in italic still feature in 2014 in Australian top 100

Dominic, Tyson, Gabriel, Christian, Isaiah,
Jonathan, Kingston, Declan, Sam, Maxwell,
Joel, Jesse & Andrew.

Girls

*********
Perhaps Australians should consider one of these from the NZ top 100;
Freya, Florence, Thea, Aurora or Olive
Vincent, Asher, Grayson, Ezra, Theo or Nixon
* the Australian statistics combine names with same pronounciation but different spelling as one ie Sophia/Sofia is one name but in New Zealand they would be counted seperately.

JACK
In NZ
Jack was #5 in 1999, for the years 2000-2004 he sat as runner up at place #2, in 2005 he hit number one overtaking Joshua.
In 2006 at #1 the most boys called Jack were born- 534, these four years old may be popping up in NZ kindy’s.
Since 2005 Jack has regained his spot at #1, although the number of Jack’s born has declined (345) as parents are choosing a wider selection of names.
Globally
Jack is #1 in Australia (2008), England & Wales (2009; 8,007), Scotland (2009) and Ireland (2009). It seems the USA is the only place not catching the Jack fever- it sits at #42 in 2009.
