These are the trendiest baby names and the ones on the way out of 2023 so far

Classic names like Aiden, Joshua, and Hannah may have been go-to choices in previous years, but edgy Millennial parents are shaking things up!

This year's top picks across Australia are once again the oh-so-chic Oliver and Charlotte, but hold on tight because more unique and fabulous names are taking center stage! 

According to the annual Australian McCrindle Baby Names report, the boys' names experiencing the wildest decline in the top 100 are Jaxon, Joshua, Spencer, Eli, and Ethan. As for the girls, names like Hannah, Frankie, Isabelle, Millie, and Phoebe are gracefully stepping aside to make way for the new stars!

Charlotte reclaims its throne as the most popular girls' name after a brief detour to second place in 2022, and the excitement doesn't stop there! For boys, Oliver remains the undisputed champ, joined by the suave Noah, the charming Leo, and the dashing William. And let's not forget about the awesome Hudson, making its grand debut in the top 10!

Lucas and Thomas, though dearly loved, have left the top 10 for the first time in a decade, making room for the freshest choices to shine bright! So, future parents, get inspired by this year's coolest monikers and give your little bundles of joy names that are as unique and fabulous as they are!
