“It explains why Oliver and Olivia have held the top spot for so alongside Charlie and Charlotte which are also wedged in the top 20.
“But they now look set to be toppled by fresher, cooler names matching pairs preferred by parents under 30.
“Theo and Thea is another new top pick, at 59 for girls and 19 for boys, with Theodore at 29.
“Freya and Freddie and holding firm, up at 18 for both boys and girls, while Ada – the matching pair for ever-popular Adam - is a fast riser for girls jumping 49 places to 65.”
