January 2, 2019 · Filed under Uncategorized · Tagged Amelia, Arlo, Australian top 100 baby names 2017, Ava, Charlotte, Emily, Ethan, George, Hunter, Isla, Jack, Jackson, James, Lachlan, Luas, Luna, Mason, Mia, Noah, NZ and Australia share Oliver and Charlotte, Oliver, Olivia, Popular baby names Australia and New Zealand, Thomas, William
New Zealand and Australia top 100 baby names are very similar.
In fact, in the top ten of the boys, six names are shared including Oliver in #1, both also feature Jack, William, Noah, James and Lucas. Thomas, Ethan, Jackson (and variants) and Lachlan round out the Australian ten whilst New Zealand holds Hunter, George, Mason and Arlo.
Charlotte is number #1 in both Australia and New Zealand, Olivia, Mia, Ava, Amelia, Isla and Emily all sit within the top 10 across islands. It’s not until you reach #29 in the NZ line up that you find Indie, not in the AUS list and #39 Audrey in the Australian lineup.
There are 19 boys names and 20 girls that differ between the neighbouring countries although it equates to slightly less in the New Zealand list as the Australian statistics count all variants under the one name i/e Darcey, Darcie and Darci are recorded as one whereas in New Zealand they are three separate monikers.
Boys feature Australian top 100 but not NZ: Nate and longer form Nathaniel, Kai, Hamish, Nicholas, Chase, Muhammad, Sonny, Darcy, Dominic, Christian, Fletcher, Ali, Lewis, Maxwell, Marcus, Hayden, Vincent & Parker. Many of these names have featured in the NZ list in years gone by.
NZ only: Theo, Ezra, Braxton, Asher, Arthur, Bauden, Bodhi, Grayson, David, Leon, Kingston, Reuben, Phoenix, Wyatt, Roman, Nixon, Jesse & Cohen (quite a biblical heavy group!)
Girls feature only Australian top 100 but not NZ: Audrey, Savannah, Imogen, Alexis, Chelsea, Claire, Indiana (NZ has Indie), Billie, Eloise, Elsie, Eliza, Daisy, Ariana, Bonnie, Alyssa, Hayley, Eve, Aisha, Lara & Alexandra.
Nz only: Indie, Millie, Riley, Zoey, (all very ee), Maia, Freya, Pippa, Luna, Leah, Keira, Amaia, Nina, Amber, Arabella, Skylar, Clara (NZ are very keen on the soft uh sounding for girls names) and Faith.
From my years of looking at names, I think that Australia is generally a little behind New Zealand in picking up the latest naming trends which often lead from the USA. It will be interesting to see whether Arlo will rise to the same popularity (now inside NZ top 10) and whether Luna will enter the girl’s list.

January 3, 2016 · Filed under Uncategorized · Tagged 2015, Alexander, Alice, Arthur, Charlotte, Evelyn, Evie, Harriet, Jack, James, Jasper, Lewis, Matilda, Millie, New Zealand, Oliver, Olivia, Thea, Theo, Theodore, Top 100 baby names
With the Top 100 baby names for New Zealand in 2015 set to be released any day its interesting to wonder who will take out the top spots.
I suspect that Oliver will retain #1 and that Charlotte will remain his Queen especially with the birth of the royal Princess but its hard to say with Olivia hot on her heels.
I predict small movements within the top 10 of either gender but no big movers and shakers. Especially with the boys I suspect Oliver, Jack and James will stay in their trifecta of classic cool.
According to the 100 year rule new entries from 2014 old fashioned gems such as Theo and sister Thea, Arthur, Lewis, Harriet and Evie (also Evelyn) will continue to rise.
Set to continue to head up will be Millie, Evelyn, Alice, Matilda, Theodore, Alexander and Jasper.
New entry possibilities include; Elsie, Greta, Polly, Willa and brothers Alfred, Frederic (k), Hugh and Jude.
Will it be the fall of Madison, Summer, Brooklyn, Savannah and Kayla or perhaps Jayden, Tyler, Jordan and Ashton.
Say goodbye to Caitlin and farewell Jake?
What do you think? what are you predictions for New Zealand or your home country? I’d love to hear from you 🙂

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.
