Sophia has been knocked off the top spot by Lily, while Muhammad remains the most popular name for boys 👶🏼
BabyCentre have revealed the top 100 baby names in their mid-year chart for 2023 with one name being knocked off from the top spot.
Interestingly, when BabyCentre released their half-year results last year, Lily was in the number one spot after having pushed Olivia off the top for the first time since 2015, but by the time the final list was published in December, Sophia had climbed from second to first. But now, it seems Lily is once again back on top, with Sophia now sitting in second, The Mirror reports.
Over on the boys' list, there have been no changes at all in the top five since December of 2022, with Muhammad, Noah, Theo, Leo, and Oliver ranking first to fifth. Just missing out on a place in the top five though, was Arthur, which has climbed five places to now sit proudly in sixth, knocking Jack down to seventh.
While real-life gossip has been turning parents off of certain names, on-screen drama is a whole other story, with names inspired by TV shows such as Succession and Bridgerton skyrocketing in popularity this year.
