Choosing a name for your baby can be one of the most important decisions you will ever have to make. Get inspiration from these favourites from last year. If it's boys' names you're after, we've got the top 100 boys' names.

Don't forget! It's a legal requirement to register your baby's birth and name within 42 days of the birth. Some hospitals have facilities so you can register the birth before you leave, or you can do it at any register office at the county council (or London or Metropolitan borough) offices. For more information, check out our feature on registering your birth.
