The latest official popular baby names list has upended some longstanding top choices as other once popular monikers number in the single digits.
The Office of National Statistics has published its annual findings 2021 list for England and Wales with some interesting results. After eight years on the throne, Oliver has been knocked off by Noah, the new number one pick for boys' names. And for the sixth year in a row, Olivia was the most popular name for girls.
The list overlaps with Scotland's 2021 list which was released back in April. Olivia also came in the top spot for Scottish girls whilst the name Jack - the number one boy name for the 14th year in a row - reigned ahead of Noah, the most popular pick in England and Wales.
Other names haven't fared so well in the standing, however, as the ONS pointed out the names 'in danger' of fading out of style completely.

Amelia is the next most popular girl's name overall, with 3,164, followed by Isla with 2,683, Ava with 2,576, and Ivy with 2,245.
James Tucker, Head of Health and Life Events Analysis, Office for National Statistics said: "Noah has replaced Oliver as the most popular name for boys in 2021, moving Oliver into second place and ending an eight-year reign at the top. Olivia remained the most popular girls name in 2021, having held the top spot since 2016.
"Interestingly, Noah was not top in any of the English regions, but has risen up the ranks in most regions since last year to take first place overall.
"While Noah and Olivia are enjoying their places at the top, some names could be in danger of falling out of favour. Leslie has had relatively little popularity in recent years with fewer than seven boys named each year since 2018.
"Others such as Clifford, Nigel and Norman have not fared much better with ten or fewer boys being named. Girls' names such as Glenda and Kerry, that were more common before, are also becoming endangered and we have seen less than five girls being named each year since 2018."
