UK’s Top 100 baby names of 2016, following a survey of more than 70,000 parents.

Olivia keeps top spot for girls’ names, and Oliver the top boys name.

BabyCentre’s baby name survey includes the names chosen by 76,993 (41,158 boys and 35,775 girls) members who gave birth in 2016.

“Luna is one of the highest new entries and with 2016 being all about Major Tim Peake’s epic space adventure, Star Wars and super moons, it’s no wonder names like this have seen a rise,” said Sarah Redshaw, managing editor of BabyCentre.

  • Only two names made the list in our extended family( a few generations including uncles, cousins etc) Some of ours are “family” names or named after somebody who has died.
