It's late December, which means the provisional list for Scotland's Top 100 names of 2013 has been released today ahead of the official launch in March.
Yet again, Jack is the most popular boys' name and Sophie is the most popular girls' name.
For boys, Lucas is a new entry to the Top 10, rising 12 places. Ella, rising 16 places,is a new Top 10 entry for the girls. The name that has made the biggest leaps for each gender are Harper (+141 places) and Aria (+73) for girls, and Harvey (+28 places), Callan (+27) and Theo (+27) for boys.
Thanks to its lower birth count, the bottom of Scotland's Top 100 rankings are very much subject to trends of that year. Last year's top risers, Bella and Shay, are no longer to be seen in this year's ranks, yet topical and media-driven Harper, Aria, Mila and Murray have seen a rise.
Here is a run down of the provisional Top 100 names in Scotland in 2013:
