The Isle of Man’s most popular baby names for 2025 have been revealed, with Alba, Maeve/Meave and Noa/Noah topping the list.
The Central Registry has revealed that Noa/Noah was the most frequently chosen boys’ name, followed by Freddie, with Alfie, Arthur, Ellis, George and Oscar also proving popular.
For girls, Alba made a notable rise to match Maeve/Meave, while Aoife, Daisy, Emma and Isla featured among the other leading choices.
Boys Outnumbering Girls
A total of 566 babies were born on the island last year, eight fewer than in 2024, with boys once again slightly outnumbering girls (288 boys and 278 girls).
All births must be registered within 42 days, either at the Central Registry in Douglas or at commissioners’ offices in Ramsey, Peel and Castletown.
