Matthew, Ryan and other extremely popular names for boys in the 90s are going out of fashion, data shows.

Similarly for girls, once-common names like Lauren, Hannah, Rebecca, Amy and Megan have plunged out of the top 100.

MailOnline has today built a search tool which shows whether your name is growing – or plummeting – in popularity.

It allows you to compare up to five names against each other, showing how many boys or girls were given that name each year dating back to 1996. 

Our tool comes after data saw Muhammad crowned the most popular name for baby boys in England and Wales.   

More than 4,600 boys were given the specific spelling of Muhammad in 2023, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) – almost 500 more than in 2022.

It marked the first time that one spelling of the Islamic name has topped the naming charts, overtaking Noah. Although when the five most common iterations are grouped together, it has been the most common for over a decade, analysis suggests.

Data shows that another 3,069 boys were named Mohammed, Mohammad, Muhammed or Mohamed in 2023.

It means, in total, 7,730 – or one in every 40 – were given the name Muhammad or one of four separate iterations ubiquitous in Islamic culture.

For comparison, 4,382 boys born in 2023 were called Noah, down from 4,586 the previous year.

Olivia retained the top spot on the list of girl’s names for the eighth year in a row, followed by Amelia and Isla.

Each year the ONS analyses the latest baby name data, uncovering trends in how certain names have fallen out of favour or soared in popularity.

Analysts spotted a rise in the number of parents choosing names like Margot and Cilian, in a trend thought to be inspired by the ‘Barbenheimer’ phenomenom which saw fans flock to cinemas to watch Margot Robbie in Barbie and Cilian Murphy in Oppenheimer.

The ONS also pointed to a ‘continued increase’ in parents opting for names of the reality TV Kardashian-Jenner family such as Reign, Saint and Stormi in favour of traditional Royal monikers.

There was also a surge in hyphenated girls’ names.

Muhammad accounted for the most popular name in 49 authorities, the biggest count of which came in Birmingham with 470 namings. 

The spelling ‘Mohammed’ was the most popular in just one authority, London’s Tower Hamlets with 73 namings. 

The ONS only provides statistics based on the exact spelling and do not group names, as some groupings are subjective and not straightforward.

For example, if multiple spelling were grouped under one umbrella name, Theodore (8th in 2023, 2,666) and Theo (11th in 2023, 2,489) would also be above Noah.

Luca was the biggest gainer year-on-year in 2023 versus the year prior, growing from 2,625 namings to 3,195. 

Of the top 100 names given to boys, Bodhi saw the highest one year leap. It jumped from 637th to 100th

New entries to the top 100 baby names include Hazel, Lilah, Autumn, Nevaeh and Raya for girls, as well as Jax, Enzo and Bodhi for boys. 

The ONS only identifies down to three instances of a name to protect the identity of those with fewer. 

Amongst the least popular names in 2023 for boys were Zoe, Zlatan, Teddy-Blu and Oakley-Jack – each with three instances. 

For girls, Wealth, Nyx and Lady ranked among the least popular names.

On the girls’ side, 2,906 babies were called in Olivia in 2023. This was down on 3,289 the previous year.

Ava fell from 4th place in 2022 (2,293) to 6th this time around with 2,050 namings, while Willow jumped into the top 10, placing ninth with 1,833 namings.

The only four-digit rankings leap across either gender came from Nova, which took 81st, having sat in 1,128th spot last year.

Hyphenated names are becoming more common, with Ivy-Rose proving the most popular  in 2023, which earned the spot of 224th overall girls name with 208 recordings. 

Seasonalities, too, show a clear effect on the data as name spikes for Poppy occurs around Remembrance Sunday, Holly in December and Summer through the warmer months.
