Famous Baby Names
Charlotte and Eva are still the hottest girl’s names, swapping places from their rankings in the most popular baby names from 2010, at number one and two on the list.
While we aren’t naming our children with quite the same creative gusto as celebrities, we do seem to have been influenced by them.
The ever-popular Lachlan and Noah have moved into prime position this year, knocking long-standing favourite, Jack, from the top spot down to eighth place.
Girl’s names especially echo the popularity of public figures, ranging from classic heroines such as Ella Fitzgerald and Ava Gardner, to more contemporary stars, such as Sienna Miller. A lot of our boys are still being named William, perhaps as a nod to the recently married Duke of Cambridge.
Religious Baby Names
The Wrap Up
Biblically themed names seem to be a hit with the boys this year. Names like Isaac, Joshua and Jacob are making their presence felt, with Noah sitting right on the tail of the number one spot.
So, there you have it – the best baby names of last year, according to the people in the know – Huggies Baby Club members.
Religious baby names for girls this year are a little more subtle, with Amelia meaning ‘Work of the Lord’ and Grace, of course, being another word for a blessing. Olivia’s can also thank the bible for their name, being a reference to the olive branch of peace, brought to Noah on the arc.

Who knows what we’ll see in 2012. Will ‘Bieber Fever’ cross over into our baby’s names? Will we prefix names with a lower case ‘i’ in honour of the late Steve Jobs? Or will we combine grandmother’s names, like Renesme from the Twilight Saga? We can’t wait to find out.
