Aida and Arthur might be gaining popularity, but they haven't managed to knock Olivia and Oliver off the top spot yet - with 4,598 girls called Olivia and 5,390 boys named Oliver born in England and Wales last year.

Coming in second for the girls was Amelia, and George for the boys. Unsurprisingly, the name Alexa halved in a year, possibly due to potential confusion with Amazon's smart speaker.

Meanwhile, in Scotland, Olivia grabbed the top spot again for the girls, with Jack for the boys. And it was a tie between Noah and James in Northern Ireland along with Grace for a girl.
