Here is the list of the most popular baby names from five Australian states in 2024.

Key Points
  • For 11 years, Oliver has remained the most popular name for boys in the country, particularly in Tasmania, Western Australia, and Victoria.
  • Isla topped the list for girls in Western Australia and Victoria, while Charlotte and Amelia dominated in other states.
  • Although Oliver and Isla led the rankings, Australia’s multicultural influence is increasingly reflected in baby names. The name Muhammad, the most popular name in the world, made it to the Top 10 in the ACT and ranked 53rd nationwide, according to McCrindle Research 2024.
