ALFIE and Olivia were the most popular names given to babies in Newport in 2013, according to a list compiled by Bounty Parenting Club.

Ruby, Megan, Ella and Isabella were also among the top girls' names in Newport, bucking national baby naming trends for 2013, with boys names Dylan, Mason and Ethan proving more popular with Newport parents than the rest of the UK.

Nationwide, the study of over 370,000 names indicated that Joey, Teddy, Ivy and Violet are "ones to watch" in 2014 after rising in popularity in the past year.

Lisa Penney, spokeswoman for Bounty said names made famous by people in the public eye are experiencing sharp rises in popularity.

"The rising fame of Joey Essex no doubt influenced this years’ highest climbing name which leaped a massive 68 places, breaking into the boys’ Top 100 at number 86," she said. "The Towie star’s catchphrase ‘Reem’ even appeared on some birth certificates.

"The names that celebrities choose for their own babies also has an effect on trends. Ivy was the fastest rising girls’ name in the past year and most likely triggered by Beyonce and Jay-Z’s baby daughter, Blue Ivy."

Nationwide the 100 boy’s list shows some interesting new entries this year including Ronnie, Elliot, Ellis and Kaiden.

On the girls list new entries are taken by Lottie, Lydia and Orla.

Within the boys top 100, Hugo was the highest climber, leaping from 100th place to 87th and in the Top 20, Oscar also rose from 19th to scoop 7th place.

In contrast the name Callum has dropped from 63rd place to 44th in 2013, a fall of 19 places.

The girl’s name Elsie has taken the biggest leap on the girls’ top 100 list for 2013, climbing from 72 to 50. Whilst Ivy the highest climber overall rose 37 places to enter the girls’ top 100 chart at number 68.

Isabel has suffered the biggest drop going from 93rd place to 71 – a drop of 22 places, whilst Maisy and Kayla have dropped straight out of the Top 100 completely after falling 50 and 28 places respectively.

The report also revealed that, nationwide, Jack is back in the top spot after previously holding the title for a staggering 16 years before Oliver knocked the moniker off its perch in 2010, Harry took over in 2011 and held the title for 2012.

Oliver, Harry, Charlie and Jacob complete the top five most popular names of the year, closely followed by Alfie, Oscar, James, Thomas and Noah.

Top of the girls' list nationwide is Amelia for the second year running, after knocking Olivia from the top spot back in 2012.

"As well as the usual influences from popular culture, in general we can see a growing trend for the return of more ‘old-fashioned’ names with a vintage flavour as parents adopt names with ‘grandparent chic’ like Elsie, Violet and Teddy," said Lisa.

"This could be due to parents choosing meaningful names linked to their family’s older generations that they want to contemporise for the modern day."
