Of all the babies born last year, boys were often called Noah and girls Julia. The annual overview of the Social Insurance Bank (SVB) shows that last year 888 boys were given the name Noah and 681 girls were given the name Julia.
Noah is in first place for the fifth consecutive year. Julia was number two last year, Emma was the hottest name at the time. In 2021, Noah and Julia were also in first place.
For the second time the SVB has compiled a separate list of the most popular, gender-neutral baby names. These are names that are given approximately equally often to boys and girls.
This happened most often with the name Riley: 84 girls and 82 boys were given that name. In second place is the name Sky with 16 girls and 17 boys. Jonne, Charlie and Sasha make up the rest of the top 5.

According to Gerrit Bloothooft, name boy at Utrecht University, first names in the top 10 are given to only 7% of all children. “In total, around 13,000 different girls’ names and 11,500 different boys’ names are given each year – parents always choose a more varied choice for girls.”
Jan and Hailey in Flevoland
As in previous years, the popular names are different in each province, but Noah ranks first in several provinces. For example, Groningen parents very often chose Noah and Elin. In Friesland it was Hidde and Lieke. Drenthe received Daan and Lotte more often and in Overijssel it was Luca and Julia.
Jan and Hailey are the most popular in Flevoland and Noah and Julia in Gelderland. In Utrecht, parents very often chose Lucas and Nora.
North Holland also more often chose the name Noah for boys and Olivia for girls, just like South Holland. Olivia was also the most popular in Zeeland, where boys were often called Lucas. Noud and Saar were number one in North Brabant. In Limburg, the children were often called Noah and Emma.
For privacy reasons, only names that have been mentioned at least ten times will be included in the name overview.
