It's official! According the Office for National Statistics, the top baby names in 2014 for England and Wales were Amelia and Oliver.

Amelia managed to maintain its #1 spot for the fourth year running, and Oliver for the second year. Overall, the top ten names are pretty similar to last year's lists, especially for the boys.

New to the top 100 are Ellis, Joey, Jackson, Thea, Darcie, Lottie, Harper, Nancy and Robyn. These names replaced Evan, Aiden, Cameron, Niamh, Paige, Skye, Tilly, Isobel, Maddison and Madison, which all fell out of the top 100.

Kian showed the largest rise within the top 100 for boys while Teddy, Theodore, Elijah, Albert and Freddie were also high climbers. For girls, Aisha showed the largest rise within the top 100. Elsie, Heidi, Evelyn, Eliza, Georgia, Ivy and Darcey also made big jumps.

It's also worth noting the differences between the separate lists for England's top 100 and Wales' top 100.

In Wales, Cody (61), Carter (61), Eli (71), Rowan (74), Macsen (78), Ifan (86), Cole (88) and Jesse (98) for boys and Lois (69), Nevaeh (82), Mila (85), Eleri (96) and Elsa (99) for girls all rose in the Welsh top 100, but don't make England's list.

On the other hand, England's top 100 boasts Stanley (60), Jude (63), Teddy (66), Hugo (70), Albert (82), Ronnie (85) and Sonny (95) for boys and Harriet (61), Zara (65), Violet (71), Maryam (73), Aisha (75), Nancy (90) and Penelope (100) for girls. These all moved up in England's top 100, but remain below the top 100 in Wales.
