Having such a small population, Tasmania’s most popular name lists are virtually their complete data for the year, which is good news for Tasmanians. The small population also means their most popular name lists tend to be quite volatile, with large movements up and down.

They have taken to Harper in a big way, and Zoey and Maddison are gaining popularity faster than Zoe and Madison. They’ve embraced hip Freya and newly cool classic Adele; the big surprise is how Amber has risen there, considering that it’s fallen everywhere else.

Violet has really fallen hard, and in fact this name seems to be down almost everywhere; I suspect it has moved into middle name territory. Tasmania has a reputation for enjoying many alternative spellings for names, but in general, it seems that last year alternative spellings such as Rubi, Lilly and Izabella went down while the traditional spelling either went up or stayed constant (mind you, Taylor disappeared from the charts in favour of Tayla). Indiana, Indianna and Indy all went down, with Indi and Indie both stepping up. Short forms, generally speaking, went down while their formal counterparts went up (an example of this is Josie disappearing from the charts while Josephine came back).
