:detective: What happend to Tasmania and ACT on the state by state list?

[sydneybubhub]

Good question!

Despite being relatively low in terms of population numbers compared to other states, Tasmania and ACT don't have the infrastructure to collate the information. Hopefully, this will change over the next few years.

I hope so as it seems to me that these states get left out all the time :(

ACT is there, William and Olivia were the most popular.

ooh, I like the names on the list. william and jack are both great.

Mia was on DH's and my top baby name potentials.. Isabella.. oh, i love that name, reminds me of twilight. LOL thats probably why its so popular :P

[BabelFish]

They are lovely names - which stands to reason, doesn't it?? :D

I am pleased, though, that none of the names we like are on the top 10. I think sometimes some names just get a little TOO common. Although I just absolutely love Jack. LOVE LOVE it. I'll never get sick of that name and every little Jack I know is such a cool kid.

i was surprised to find lucy at #23. didnt think it was that popular and would much prefer if it wasnt on the list. Travis is still safe lol, he didnt make it lol.
Some nice names.
