Australia has a rich, varied and turbulent history, so making a list of Australian baby names was always going to require a considered approach.
We've compiled this list to include indigenous names, the names of famous Australians of every background, as well as place names, nature names and character names. Some just have an Australian feel, like Summer.
We hope you'll find some great baby name inspiration here, as well as in our extensive baby name archive. There you can find French baby names, Irish baby names, African baby names and baby names from different music genres, including hip hop/rap, jazz/soul, pop, heavy metal/rock and more.
