See the top 10 lists of boys' and girls' name in the West Midlands.
For the first time in eight years, Oliver is no longer the most popular name for baby boys in the UK, being replaced by Noah.
For girls names, Olivia topped the lists for both the UK and West Midlands, while Freya - sixth overall in the country - made the region's top five. "In 2021, one-fifth of local authorities had at least one top boys' name that was not in the top 10 for England and Wales." Last year half of the top 10 boys' names for mothers aged under 25 years were shortened versions of traditional names, while only one made the top 10 for baby names for mothers aged 35 years and over.
