Top 100 names in Australia (2026):
Ever wondered how many other Amelias are in your kid's class photo, or whether your pick is about to be everywhere? This tool checks your first name against Australia's top 100 baby names for 2026 — the names parents are choosing right now — and shows exactly where it ranks.
What the rankings show
For 2026, Amelia and Noah sit at number one for girls and boys. A name in the top 10 is genuinely everywhere — expect to hear it called out at any playground. Further down the top 100, names are still common but far more spread out, so a #70 pick feels a lot fresher than a #3 one.
Trends move fast. Levi has jumped into the boys' top 3, while vintage and nature-inspired names like Hazel, Elsie, Violet and Willow now fill the girls' top 20. A name outside the list isn't unheard of — it just isn't among the 100 most common this year.
Getting the most out of this
Try different spellings. "Sofia" and "Sophia" are separate entries and rank in different spots, so the version you choose changes the answer.
Watch for unisex names. Charlie, Riley and a handful of others rank on both the boys' and girls' lists, and the tool shows both positions when they do.
Cross-reference with the top 20 list in the results. If your preferred name is near the top, expect plenty of company in the next school photo.
Frequently asked questions
Where does this data come from?
The rankings reflect the most popular baby names given in Australia for 2026, compiled from parent naming trends. It's a top-100 list for each of boys and girls.
My name doesn't show up. What does that mean?
The list only covers the 100 most popular names for boys and for girls in 2026. If your name isn't there, it's simply outside the current top 100 — it might be a rarer choice, an older classic, or a different spelling. It doesn't mean nobody has it.
Are nicknames and full names counted separately?
Yes. Each spelling and form is its own entry, so "Charlie" and "Charlotte" or "Tommy" and "Thomas" rank in different places. Parents choose whichever form they like, so both a short form and its longer version can appear on the list.
