Names in the first 100 ranks for New Zealand in 2025, according to the list published by the Department of Internal Affairs.
Basisregistrations

Registrations57,705
Floor10
First given names from birth registrations, by registration year; any name under 10 in a year is excluded at source. Shares divide by Stats NZ’s count of births registered to mothers living in New Zealand, which runs under 1% below the registry’s own count, so a share here is a hair high, never low.

Registries that publish names in capitals are shown in title case; counts are the registry’s own. Where a registry counts each spelling separately, its leading spelling stands for the name across records (Ireland’s Rían stands for Rian); the other spellings keep their own rows and their own counts, and are never added together.
