Oliver has replaced George as the third most popular name, the BBC reports.

For girls, the three most popular names in 2023 are Olivia, Amelia and Isla, the same as last year.

Officials say the celebrity world has influenced the popularity of some names such as Reign and Saint, modeled after the Kardashian-Jenner family. The names of popular musicians often appear, such as the teenage star Billie Eilish.

Names worn by members of the royal family, such as Charles, George and Harry, are becoming less popular.
