    You could try this website

    100 years of baby names - NSW Government Portal

    It'll tell you how many babies of a particular name were born in NSW each (for the last few years) or decade back 100 years, as long as there were at least 10 (I think that's how it works)
    For example in NSW in 2007 there were 208 Hollys (Ranked #27), Grace had 366 (Rank #15) but no Gracies

    How do you feel about the names
    Elliott (for a girl), or Bree?

    Hi Stella'sMum,
    I am a teacher and I have taught quite a few Georgie's and Grace's (not many Gracie's although alot of the Grace's get called this), so they are pretty common.
    But I have never taught an Ellie, Bronte, and only 1 Holly in 16 years of teaching. I love the name Holly, it is so pretty!!!

    Hi,

    thanks everyone for your replies - I still love all of them, today my favourite is Georgie. Bridee, that is unbelievable! How old is your Georgie? Did you have SUA with her aswell? Just wondering if it runs in the family?
    By the way, I am expecting my first child, when i say I'm Stella's Mum, Stella is my little poodle dog.

    In my opinion, Bronte is probably the least common. I think it is a very pretty name.

    Bree is nice. It can be short for Sabrina which is a really great unique and feminine name if you get get away from the teenage witch aspect!
