Baby registers have been abundant with Khaleesi, Elsa, Jaxon and Katniss lately but, according to McCrindle Forecasts Strategy Research, Australians opted for a more traditional approach in 2015.
Olivia, Charlotte and Mia were the three most popular girls names and Oliver, William and Jack were the three most popular boys names.
Wagga parents Erin and Scott Yeomans welcomed their son Jack Kevin Yeomans on March 25 but had no idea the name would be the third most popular in the country.
