Oliver and Charlotte continue their reign as Queensland's favourite baby names in 2025

Oliver and Charlotte have once again topped the list of Queensland's most popular baby names, maintaining their long-standing appeal among parents.

Oliver secured the number one spot for boys for the 13th consecutive year, while Charlotte remained the most popular name for girls for the second year in a row.

New data from the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages shows 394 boys were named Oliver in 2025, while 324 girls were given the name Charlotte.

Noah followed closely behind Oliver with 363 registrations, with Theodore, Henry and William completing the top five boys' names. Hudson, Luca, Leo, Charlie and newcomer Elijah rounded out the top 10, with Elijah's rise pushing Jack out of the list for the first time in three decades.

For girls, the competition for second place was tight. Amelia secured the spot with 255 registrations, narrowly ahead of Isla with 254. Olivia, Hazel, Matilda and Mia also featured prominently.

Nature-inspired names proved popular among girls, with Violet entering the top 10 at number eight and Lily returning to the list for the first time since 2022 at number nine. Harper completed the top 10.

Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Integrity Deb Frecklington said the annual release of baby name data continues to capture the interest of Queensland families, particularly those preparing to welcome a child.

"Choosing a baby name is a deeply personal decision, whether it's inspired by family traditions, popular culture or even sporting heroes like the Matildas," she said.

She noted that many parents are gravitating towards classic names, with traditional and vintage options enjoying renewed popularity.

"While older-style names are making a comeback, they are still quite different from the most popular names of a century ago, such as Ronald, Keith, Joyce and Betty," she said.

The 2025 data also highlights the diversity of naming choices across the state, with 6,313 unique names recorded for boys and 7,213 for girls.
