This infographic shows the most popular baby names in every UK city
The list includes old favourites and a few newcomers.
The map, which was compiled using the most up to date data available from national records and parenthood sites Bounty.com and BabyCentre, reveals that Olivia and Amelia continue their reigns as the most popular names for girls — in over 50% of cities the most popular girls' name is one of the two.
For boys, Oliver and Jack continue to be favoured among new UK parents, with each coming out on top in 12 UK cities.
Some of the less common names, which topped the list in just one city, include Eilidh and Tom in Perth, and Ryan and Grace in Newry.
