The most popular baby names being chosen so far this year across the United Kingdom have been revealed by BabyCentre.
Sophia has been pushed off the top spot by Lily - which has increased in popularity after finishing in second at the end of 2022. Non-movers Noah, Theo, Leo and Oliver also refused to budge, hanging on tightly to their second, third, fourth and fifth positions. Celeb and royal drama gossip have appeared to wreak havoc on the name charts so far this year as Philip, Holly, Meghan and Harry tumbled down.
Philip also dropped in popularity outside of the top 100, along with Phil, which only had one registration this year so far.
