Those most popular included: Osian, Elis, Macsen, Dylan, Harri and Jac for boys and Mali, Mabli, Seren, Cadi and Alys for girls.

The rankings were created using the exact spellings of names given at birth registration, meaning similar names with different spellings were counted separately.

Names given to baby girls less than five times include Orchid, Poem, Sicily and Everest.
