The current top 100 baby boy names in the UK - see full list

It can be overwhelming choosing a name for your bundle of joy - there's so many to pick from.

Do you name your baby after royalty, an ancestor, a film character, a famous musician or do you find something weird and wonderful to make your little one even more unique?

While scrolling through the pages of an A to Z book of baby names could be the answer, UK Baby Names reveals regular lists of the most popular baby names in the country - so you can either decide to pick one or avoid the list entirely, if you're after something more original.
