New girl's name tops list of most popular baby names for 2022
Choosing the perfect name for your child is no easy task, especially when it involves taking into account the opinions of your partner, parents and in-laws.
Not to mention all the forums, lists and celebrities who could influence your decision.

Some parents have even admitted to being reduced to tears daily after choosing the 'wrong' name.
No pressure folks!
Well, if you're having a girl and you're struggling to pick a fantastic name, you may be in the right place.
Alternatively, if you want to get an early idea of what could be the most popular names by the time your toddler goes to school and you want to avoid those names at all costs in favour of something unique, you're probably in the right place as well.
According to new findings from BabyCentre, the top 100 baby boys’ and girls’ names of the year have drawn inspiration from a range of sources.
We're talking about our favourite reality show Love Island to the revival of '90s trends.
Tens of thousands of parents have registered their baby name choices on the BabyCentre website over the past year and we now have the results.
Coming in at number one on the girl's list is Sophia, followed by Lily and Olivia completing the top three.
Sophia jumped one place to snatch the top spot and last year's most popular name, Olivia, fell to third place. Lily also leap-frogged Olivia and settled into the runner-up position.
There were more changes lower down the chart where Isla climbed three placed to number four and Maya leapt a whopping 10 places into the top 10 at number nine. Ava remained steady at number five - good for her!
The same can't be said for Scarlett. The name tumbled down the charts with the biggest drop in the girls’ chart, falling 42 places to number 92.
