Olivia and Arthur are Belgium's most popular baby names

Emma has lost her title as the most popular Belgian girl's name, after 17 years on top.

She conceded the number one spot to Olivia, who had been a credible challenger for several years, frequently coming second or third.

The latest baby name data from national statistics office Statbel shows 651 new-born Olivias joined the Belgian population register in 2019, compared with 563 Emmas.

Mila came third, with the top 10 completed by Louise, Alice, Lina, Juliette, Anna, Elena and Lucie.

In the boys' competition, Arthur came first for the second year running, followed by Liam, Louis, Noah and Adam.

Completing the top 10 are Jules, Lucas, Victor, Gabriel and Mohamed.
