Emma and Louis were the most popular names for newborn babies in Belgium in 2014, according to the latest figures from the government statistical service.
This is the twelfth year that Emma has been top choice for girls, while Louis marks a second year as the most popular boy’s name.
Things are slightly different if you look at the regions. In Flanders the most popular names were Emma and Lucas, while in Wallonia they were Léa and Hugo and in the Brussels Capital region they were Lina and Adam. The only name to appear in the top ten for all three regions is Emma.
