If there's one thing in life you have to be certain on, it's the name you decide to give your child. After all, it is the name they are going to go by for the rest of their lives!

After the top baby names predicted for 2022 were unveiled at the start of the year, figures have now been released for the most popular names for 2022 by Baby Centre, and there's been some change.

Olivia, which has topped the charts for the last seven years, has been replaced by the name Sophia, whilst Muhammad once again claimed top spot for boys.

For girls, names like Maya, Millie and Zara have climbed into the Top 20, whilst the names Luca, Teddy and Ethan feature for boys.
