Baby name lists: Find inspiration from the best baby name lists in 2024
Explore the creative baby names on these carefully curated lists and discover names you may never have thought of.
Choosing a name for your baby is never easy, and while we all aim for a moniker that will be uniquely their own, sometimes choosing a classic is the way to go. Then again, perhaps a name that gives a nod to your ancestry, or your favourite movie or place is the answer.
Whatever you way you go, we can help with lists broken down by theme and style to make it easier for you to explore and decide.
Baby name trends in 2024
McCrindle’s research into Australia’s most popular baby names identified some trends when it comes to naming our babies.
Short over long In recent years McCrindle has identified a trend of Australian parents opting for shorter names as first names.
Names ending in ‘ie’ for girls and ‘o’ for boys In true Aussie fashion, we are also seeing a trend of shortening names and adding an ‘ie’ on the end: Rose to Rosie, Savannah to Sadie, Amelia to Millie, Isabella to Billie, Charlotte to Charlie, Elizabeth to Ellie and William to Billy.
For boys, there is also a trend of names that end with an ‘o’. Names like Leo, Hugo, Theo and Leonardo which were all popular in the past year.
Botanic and nature-inspired names Flower names like Willow, Lilly, Ivy, Violet, Daisy, Poppy and Olive remain popular, while atmosphere-inspired names like Luna, Aurora and Stella are seeing a rise in popularity.
Kai, River and Bodhiare examples of nature-inspired names for boys that have proven popular.
