The most popular baby names across Australia in 2022

The firm favourite has held the top male spot for the past decade, this year marking the birth of 551 new Olivers in Victoria.

The female variation ranked 5th on the female list, with 407 baby Olivias joining the education state.

Levi, increasingly suggested on baby name blogs as a nickname for Oliver, made an appearance on Victoria's list and has been climbing popular baby name lists around the country.

Millennial culture is palpable in the rankings, with 2000's throwbacks peppered heavily throughout the data, released by Victoria's Births, Deaths and Marriages.

Victoria is potentially packed with fans of James Cameron's Titanic, both Jack and Leo ranked three and four respectively.

Elijah, Mila and Scarlett featured in the lists, sharing names with notable celebrities at the pinnacle of their fame while Millennials were young.
