The most popular baby names from the past 20 years have been revealed - and it's good news for Jack and Emily.
Using data from the Office of National Statistics from 1996 to 2019, it can be seen that some old classics have remained popular - but some curveballs have snuck into the top ten.
Name expert Pamela Redmond Satran recently spoke out and said that some names, such as Jessica, Sophie, Jack, or Thomas, will always be popular, and rarely fall out of favour.
But it appears that recently new parents have turned to the Royal Family for inspiration, as Charlotte became popular in the year following Princess Charlotte's birth, as did George - which was the 10th most popular name the year after Prince George was born.

Speaking to The Sun, Pamela said: "With boy names especially, you see some of the classics holding steady over the whole generation, a trend you'd see if you stretched the chart back a hundred years.
"Names like Thomas, James, William, and Daniel are never really in or out of style. They command a top place on baby name popularity lists generation after generation.

"You see more movement with girls' names, even the classics you might think would be immune to fashion swings. Elizabeth barely sneaks onto the top 25 and Sarah has nearly fallen off the top 50."
Olivia has proved to be a popular name, topping the charts for girls’ names since 2016, but Emily won the crown after featuring in the top five every year between 1996 and 2018.
Jessica, Sophie and Chloe fill the rest of the first five spots for girls, and for boys, Jack, Thomas, Harry, Oliver and Joshua top the charts.
