Yikes. Australians by comparison are BORING (sensible). Here are our most popular selections for the year:
New additions to the girl's list this year include Ivy, Alice, Georgia, Madeline, Holly, Indiana, Poppy and Harper. New boy's names this year include Levi, Leo, Zac, Archie, Tyler, Elijah and Hayden.
Australian parents are most likely to express naming originality by altering the spelling of traditional names. Daring bunch, aren't we?
In the US Phone appeared on the unusual names list which will make for some complicated interactions later in life. "Phone, can you answer the phone?"
