While Olivia, Amelia and Jack have long dominated the popular baby name lists, the latest string of names to emerge online are unlikely to knock them from their secure top spots.

Parenting website babycentre UK has released a list of 40 names - 20 for boys and 20 for girls - which they are describing as 'fresh names' for 2017.

Oliver and Amelia will be among the most popular - but there will be some unusual additions too.
