Some new baby names have entered WA’s most popular for 2025, as WA’s Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages reveal the top 10 for boys and girls.
Two clear favourites for both genders were Noah and Isla, with both names also top of the list in 2024.

Oliver and Charlotte also remained popular in 2025, both taking out the second place on the list.
Newcomers to the state’s top ten compared to the year before were the girls’ names Grace, Hazel
and Sophia and William for boys.
The Registry’s list also breaks down trends in regional areas.
“For instance, in 2025 in the Goldfields-Esperance region, the boys names Billy and Levi tied at
number one,” Births Deaths and Marriages Acting Registrar Heath Bennett said.

“Billie, spelled with an i-e, and Maggie tied in second position, behind Isla at number one, in the
Kimberley/Pilbara/Gascoyne. There, Jack was the most popular boys name.
“There was a three-way tie for most popular girls’ name in the Wheatbelt/Midwest where Grace,
Isla and Remi occupied equal number one and Oliver topped boys’ name in Peel.”
There were 33,232 births registered in WA in 2025, 88 per cent of which were received via the
Registry’s online Birth Registration Portal.
Twenty years ago, the names Ella and Jack topped WA’s baby names, while 50 years back, the
state’s most popular names were Michelle and Michael.

“2025 favourites Isla and Noah still have a long way to go to catch up with Margaret and John,
WA’s most popular names on record,” Bennett said.
“Margaret was the number one girls name for 22 consecutive years from 1930, when RBDM
published records begin,” he said.
“John was most popular boys name for 21 consecutive years from 1930 and held a place in the top
10 for 42 years in a row.“
Families have 60 days from the birth of a child to lodge registration with the Registry of Births,
Deaths and Marriages, either via a paper form or online.
