Good news Olivers, you’re still number one.
That’s right, for the third year running Oliver was the most popular name for baby boys born in NSW in 2016.
Meanwhile, Olivia returned as the go-to for baby girls, which – fingers crossed – means that in a few years time schools across the state will be over-run with perfectly paired partners in crime.
The announcement comes as NSW Registry of Births Deaths & Marriages prepares to release their Top 10 list from last year, which is due to be published in April.

This is happening already. There are plenty of classes with both an Olivia and an Oliver - neither of these names are newly popular. They're both lovely but they're a bit tired at this point as well.
