The most popular girls' names of 2018 so far are Emma, Olivia and Ava, in that order.

Emma, meaning “whole” or “universe”, is no doubt popular thanks to the likes of Harry Potter star Emma Watson, and actresses Emma Stone and Emma Thompson.

Meanwhile Olivia, from “olive tree”, and Ava meaning “bird”, popularised by actress Ava Gardner, also remain favourites from last year.

In 2018, Isabella has risen in the ranks from fifth place, overtaking Sophia which was fourth last year.

The top ten, released by Baby Centre, also includes Mia, Amelia, Harper, Charlotte and Mila.

Given the likes of David and Victoria Beckham naming their daughter Harper, and the Duke and Duchess having Princess Charlotte, it is no wonder these sweet names are highly popular.

New additions to the list are Mila and Riley, so could these names rise even further up the list?

The top boys' names of 2018 have also been realised by the website.

Top three names Liam, Noah and Logan haven’t changed position from last year, but Oliver has risen in the ranks from seventh to fourth.

Mason, perhaps sparked by Kourtney Kardashian’s cute son, is currently fifth most popular, followed by Lucas and Ethan.

Also in the top ten are Elijah, Aiden and James.
