Minister for Customer Service and Digital Government Jihad Dib said:
"Welcoming a new baby into the family is one of life’s most exciting moments. It’s a time filled with joy, love and new beginnings.
"Choosing a name is a deeply personal moment, whether it’s for your first child or your third. Every one of these names is a top gun choice and a decision that carries meaning for a lifetime.
"These trends show the baby name landscape in NSW continues to be diverse, with parents embracing both modern and timeless choices.
"Congratulations to all the families across NSW who welcomed a newborn last year. May this year be filled with love, laughter, and precious memories.”
Registrar for NSW Birth, Deaths & Marriages Theresa Fairman said:
“Parents are making creative choices when it comes to naming their children, and this top 100 proves evolution in preferences.
"From classic favourites to emerging trends, the names chosen by parents reflect the ever-changing NSW community and its growing families.”
