THE special supplement ‘Born in 2024’ is out tomorrow, Thursday, and we can reveal the top ten boys’ and girls’ names for babies born in Warrington last year.
Throughout the past 12 months, we have been appealing to Warrington Guardian readers to send in pictures of their newborns who were delivered at Warrington Hospital – or further afield – via our website.
Now, we have put together a special 16-page supplement celebrating Warrington’s newest residents.
Our annual ‘Born in….’ souvenir edition always special and this year’s is no exception – the ‘Born in 2024’ supplement will be one for family members to cherish with more than 250 babies!
Whether babies were born at hospital or at home, or if mums went into labour in an unusual place, we were again inundated with pictures from proud mums and dads across the town and we have tried to include as many newborn babies as possible.
Thank you to everyone who has submitted a photograph for ‘Born in 2024’ and don’t forget to keep hold of a copy or two for your son or daughter’s memory box.
Luca, Arthur and Ezra feature in the most popular names for boys in 2024 and Mia, Imogen and Harper were among the favourites for girls.
Ted / Teddy, Arthur and Isaac were new entries for 2024 as they didn’t appear in the town’s top ten the year before as were Phoebe, Violet and Lottie.
Thomas / Tommy and George retained their spots on the list with Leo, Ronnie and Freddie replacing Charlie, Alfie, Oliver and Reggie.
Also popular for boys last year were Theo / Theodore and Jax / Jaxon / Jaxson.
Only three of the most popular girls’ names from 2023 feature again in 2024 with Lily / Lilly and Esme / Esmae / Esmee making another appearance.
New entries for 2024 include Isla, Orla and Maisie.

If you are expecting your own new arrival in 2025, make sure you keep an eye out for our forthcoming appeals each month, where you can send a photo of your baby along with their name, date of birth, weight at birth and the area of Warrington you live.
We will be celebrating all the babies born in 2025 with another special supplement at the beginning of next year.
