The last time Theos were included in the list was in 2022, in 6th place.
Similarly, the 10 most popular girls' names, in Jersey, saw not one, two or three, but six brand new name entries since 2016.
They include Pearl, Clara, Ruby, Bella, Elodie and Grace, knocking the popular Amelia, Emily, Emelia and Luna off the list in 2024.
For the first time in almost a decade, Oliver is not included in the boys' top 10 names.
Other than that, the list has remained pretty much the same, with the usual Luca, Alfie and Leo making appearances.
However, there has been a resurgence for William, Henry and James, with Arlo and Finley entering the charts in 9th and 5th.
