However there are a number of others that look as though they could be vanishing from households across the country, the Liverpool Echo reports.
Those names seeing the biggest drop in popularity since 2011 is Varsha, followed by Brooke, Tamar, Lucy, and Chloe.
For boys' names, the biggest fall in use has been for the name Arun, followed by Dayton, Dylan, Owen, and Kai.
The research also found that seasonal baby names have surged in popularity with the name Nova seeing a 7,129 per cent increase.
Nova is followed by Aura, Primrose, Parker and Juniper whilst boys names August, Hunter, Axel, Parker, and Ash have seen a jump.
Celebrity-inspired names are also increasing in popularity. For girls, the names on the rise are Reign, Winter, Monroe, Aurora, and River, and boys they are Bowie, Bear, Arlo, Bodhi, and Apollo.
Anna McEntee, from the life insurance team at Comparethemarket, said: “Choosing a baby name is a very personal and exciting decision for families. It's fascinating to see baby name trends change over time, with old favourites like Lucy and Chloe falling out of fashion, and more unique names such as Nova gaining popularity.
"Whether you opt for a traditional name or something a little more unusual, hopefully, our research will help to inspire the perfect name for your bundle of joy.”
