Muhammad was the top choice for parents naming their baby boys in England and Wales in 2023, with over 4,600 children registered with the name.

Muhammad has been among the top 10 names for baby boys since 2016, but has now overtaken the previous favourite, Noah, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

Olivia remains the most popular choice for baby girls, followed by Amelia and Isla. These top three remain unchanged since 2022.

New entries to the top 100 list for girls include Lilah, Raya and Hazel, while Jax, Enzo and Bodhi made it into the top 100 for boys.

The ONS said on Thursday that pop culture “continues to influence” name choices, while royal names were less popular in 2023, part of an ongoing trend.

Data for 2022’s top baby names was released last May amid changes to resources.

Publishing dates for 2024’s most popular picks have not yet been confirmed.
