Oliver and Jack have always been popular – no surprises there. I’m looking for inspiration but don’t want something too common

Wow, I’m amazed at how many names are on this list that kids of my friends have. And to think so many people go for the ‘original’ name……if only they knew it’s most likely been used by many

I’m still struggling with names – I like so many of them but none feel quite right… I guess once they are born you just kind of know…

I imagine the top names are not too different across the country. I know a few newborns with names featured in the lists above.

We are still debating names for our little one due in 5 weeks… We just can’t agree! Hubby and I like lots of names on these lists, just not the same ones.

A few surprises for me in this list. We chose Hannah as a family name – I didn’t realise it was as popular as it is.

The picture used for this heading is my beautiful bub Sophie! She was ‘smiling’ at the ambulance officers who transported us to hospital after her unexpected home birth in December! A great photo taken by Queensland Ambulance Service Media Coordinator Emma!
