Comment: Celtic names seem all the rage, with Finn the biggest riser, joined by new names Finlay, Fergus, Callum, and Aidan. Bella and Edward both high risers – is someone having a laugh? (But Jasper fell …) Fun royal-watching fact: George, Louis, and Alexander all rose in popularity.
NOTE: Because of its small population size, the Australian Capital Territory’s top names are its complete name data. For the same reason, its charts are highly volatile.
Waltzing More Than Matilda 
Ah interesting, thank you
What do you mean by complete name data? Nobody in the ACT last year was named anything other than these 212 names, or does it have to have been given to at least more than one child to be on the list?
Each name is given to at least five babies.
There’s plenty of other names used in the ACT, but they will never be included in the data to protect privacy.
