Oliver and Olivia topped the 2023 list of the most-chosen baby names in Jersey.

They jointly return to the top-spot on the lists of ten most popular registered names, just as they were in 2019.

Olivia has held the No.1 position on three previous occasions since 2016, while Oliver hasn't dropped out of the top ten in the past eight years.

Neither name has dropped out of the top two baby names in the UK for over a decade now, making them essentially the Jersey RFC of baby names, undefeated and table-topping.

For girls, Isla and Mia were in second and third place in 2023, with Florence and Luna also in the top 10 again.

When it comes to 'new arrivals, Phoebe has become a more popular choice.

Gabriel broke into the top ten for boys; perhaps in homage to Arsenal's recent attempts to return to glory.
