Choosing a name for your new bubba is one of the biggest decisions a parent has to make.
But it seems there's some standout choices amongst Aussie parents this year.
McCrindle has done the research and scoured the country once again to find the top ten boy and girl baby names for 2024.
Read on to see which names have stayed in the top spots, and which new ones have emerged as popular choices over the last year.
10. Jack
Starting out the top boys' names for 2024 is Jack.
Jack has moved down from its sixth position in 2023.
Jackson, which can be used as a longer version of Jack, also scored a spot in the top 100 for 2024, placing 60th.
9. Charlie
Coming in ninth for a second year in a row is Charlie.
While Charlie ranked in the top boys names category, it can also be used as a gender neutral name or even used as a nickname for Charles.
8. William
William has stayed in the top 10 once again, though it has dropped from its fourth position in 2023.
William is one of the classic names on the list and has some famous namesakes, like William, Prince of Wales.
It can also be shortened to Will or even Billy, which ranked 54th in 2024.
