Many car-themed names made the list like Axel, Diesel and Xira after a motorbike and some kids had even been named after their parent’s favourite drink.
‘Heineken has a brother called Jack. These are what I have heard at our local park and shops,’ one mum said.
‘My two sons went to primary school with a Ford and a Holden, these kids were 6 and my boys were 11 and 12. Then about a month ago I met a bloke who was mid twenties and his name was Holden,’ a second replied.
‘There was a kid in my son’s class named Nedloh – which is Holden spelt backwards,’ a third commented.
‘Aioli Holden (I think the kid should sue the parents lol),’ laughed a fourth.

Some parents seemed to be predicting their child’s disposition, future or occupation with names like Rampage, Epic, Legend, Tempah, Anarchy, Felony, Hurricane, Kaos, Heaven-lee, Mayor and even Pilot Inspektor.
Others adopted some unorthodox spellings and pronunciations like Rivah, Nykol, Lyryk, Jax and L-A pronounced Le Dasha.
‘Nivek. Kevin backwards. Huntah and Pipah are pretty bad, too,’ one mum responded.
‘Sharone – for a boy – because the parents liked the song My Sharona,’ explained a second.


Other names in the list included Pilot Inspektor, Areola, Turbo, Pistol Blaze, Jhett Power, Girly and Lonewolf
‘People calling their kids Alani because it spells Inala (the suburb they live in) backwards. And there’s more than one,’ a third said.
Place names like Malibu, Miami and Tuscany made the list while one child was called ‘Thainesia’ after a restaurant and another Arsenal after the football team.
‘Two sisters named: Tallis and Webcke. No joke. Why???,’ a parent wrote.
‘My son goes to school with a girl named Areola. Also a lady walked past my house about 10 years ago and yelled, ‘Delta, Koehler and Moen, get yo a***s back here right now,’ said another.
Many parents this year opted for more conventional names as it was revealed Isla and Oliver are the most popular names for new Aussie babies in 2022.
Isla is the hot new girl’s name for parents, knocking Charlotte off the top spot according to trend-watchers McCrindle Research.
The name was given to 1,539 Australian baby girls in 2021 and since Generation Alpha began being born, Isla has seen a surge in popularity from 34th position in 2010 to 4th in 2021 and now 1st.
After analysing the most commonly chosen names in all Australian states and territories over the past year, McCrindle named Oliver as the top boy’s name for the ninth year in a row.

Australia’s least populous states helped Isla rise to number one as it was the most commonly chosen name in Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory however it only just pipped the post with just 31 fewer occurrences than Charlotte.
Olivia (3rd) and Amelia (4th) remained in the top four and Ava (5th) made its way back into the five most popular names since 2019.
For the boys, Oliver was the only name given to more than 2000 babies in 2022 while Noah placed second again and Jack jumped up a spot to third.
Ella was the only newcomer to the girl’s top ten after rising from eleventh place in 2021 while traditional names like Henry (4th), William (5th) and Theodore (8th) were popular for boys.

Popular pop culture names in the list include the girl’s name Maeve featured in the Netflix hit show Sex Education (pictured)

While Generation Alpha haven’t finished being born yet, there are clear trends when it comes to the most popular baby names for this generation.
Of this years’ Top 100 list, almost half (47) of the girls’ names did not feature on the list back in 2010, compared to a third (33) of boys’ names. This shows the trend of more variety in girls’ names than boys’.
Some of the most popular names that have debuted in the last decade for girls include Hazel, Florence, Daisy, Frankie, Luna, Ayla, Sadie, Billie, Millie, Aurora and Mila.
Some of the most popular names that have debuted for boys in the last decade include Theodore, Hudson, Arlo, Archer, Harvey, Carter, Arthur, Sonny and Asher.
Other girls’ names to watch include Remi (which debuted at 73rd in 2020 and rose to 60th this year), Maeve (which debuted at 86th in 2020 and rose to 70th this year) and Delilah (which debuted at 96th last year and has risen to 71st).
