General Name Discussion

I’m currently in hospital following the birth of my 4th daughter and having trouble naming her.
This led to a chat with a name obsessed midwife who filled me in on the popular baby names at the hospital this year, in NSW, Australia.
Apparently there are 3 [name]Ruby[/name]'s in the nursery at the moment (out of only 12 baby girls)
Most popular names lately have been:
[name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Mia[/name]
[name]Emily[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Sophie[/name]
[name]Indy[/name]/[name]Indie[/name]
[name]Evie[/name]/[name]Eva[/name]/[name]Evelyn[/name]
[name]Ava[/name]

[name]Noah[/name]
[name]William[/name]
[name]Jack[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Ethan[/name]
[name]Flynn[/name]/[name]Finn[/name]
[name]Nate[/name]

Some are very predictable but others surprised me like [name]Indy[/name]
