A new study by the Daily Mail, analysing baby name data from the Office for National Statistics, has revealed the most popular names for baby boys across Derbyshire.
Across the country, more than 4,600 boys were named Muhammad - making it the most popular name in 2023. Noah was the second most common name given to newborn boys in England and Wales, followed by Oliver in third.
A total of 2,906 girls were named Olivia, which remained the most popular name for girls across England and Wales in 2023 - followed by Amelia and Isla.
Analysts discovered a rise in the number of parents choosing names such as Cilian and Margot. This is believed to be inspired by the ‘Barbenheimer' trend, where cinema-goers flocked to cinemas to watch Cilian Murphy appear in Oppenheimer and Margot Robbie, who starred in Barbie.
