Some of the U.K.'s Top Baby Names Will Look Familiar to American Parents
Months after the SSA dropped its top baby name list, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed the top ones in England and Wales. Fact checked by Sarah Scott Baby names are all the rage in the U.S. Whether it's hearing about a celebrity who gave their kid a unique name or learning all the baby name trends of the year, many parents just can't get enough. There's also the annual anticipated list from the Social Security Administration (SSA), featuring the most popular baby names of the previous year. Of course, American parents aren't the only ones intrigued by baby names. Months after the SSA list dropped, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed the top baby names in England and Wales for 2024. There's some overlap between both lists and also quite a few differences. Check out the top 10 boy and girl names in England and Wales, which you can also use for inspiration if you have a little one on the way. Top Girl Names in England and Wales in 2024 The top girl name in England and Wales is the same as the one in the U.S.: Olivia. It was the top baby girl name in the U.S. for the sixth year in a row in 2024. And this is the third year in a row it appears on the list for England and Wales. Here's the entire top 10. Olivia Amelia Lily Isla Ivy Florence Freya Poppy Ava Elsie Top Boy Names in England and Wales in 2024 Muhammad, the top boy name in England and Wales, has been the same for two years in a row. But it's different than the top boy name in the U.S. which was Liam, a name that doesn't even make the top 10 in England and Wales. Also high on this list is Archie and George, which is unsurprising as those are the names of the sons of Prince Harry and Prince William, respectively. Those two names didn't even make the top 100 in the U.S. Here's the entire top 10. Muhammad Noah Oliver Arthur Leo George Luca Theodore Oscar Archie The England and Wales list also features some new entries for the top 100 girl names, including Eloise, which is what Sofia Richie named her daughter, and Athena, a name with Greek roots, according to BBC. New boy names on the list include Austin, Nathan, Vinnie, and Yahya. All of these names, except for Vinnie, have been on the U.S. list. We'll see how different both lists will be next year.

Who is headlining Reading and Leeds 2025? Line-up revealed
Chappell Roan, Travis Scott, Hozier and Bring Me the Horizon will top the bill Festival season is nearly over after a sun-soaked and controversial summer of music. However, there's still one major weekend left. Reading and Leeds Festivals will return over the August bank holiday with a packed line-up that includes pop phenomenon Chappell Roan and rapper Travis Scott. Whether you're a seasoned regular or watching from the comfort of your sofa, here's what to expect from one of the summer's biggest parties. When is Reading and Leeds 2025? Buy Reading and Leeds tickets The sister festivals will take place between Thursday 21 and Sunday 24 August, at Richfield Avenue in Reading and Bramham Park in Leeds. Coverage of the festivals will be broadcast on BBC One, iPlayer, Radio 1 and BBC Sounds. A limited number of tickets are still on general sale via Ticketmaster and Live Nation, with prices starting at £125 for day tickets and rising to £325 for weekend passes. Who is headlining Reading and Leeds? Reading and Leeds Festivals share the same line-up, which features acts from the worlds of rock, pop, grime, hip-hop and electronic music. The festivals' schedule rotates across both sites over the event. US pop star Chappell Roan and rapper Travis Scott will headline the festivals for the first time. Irish singer-songwriter Hozier and Sheffield rock band Bring Me the Horizon will also top the bill. Roan's headline sets will mark her biggest UK shows to date, following a mammoth year for the performer. Her 2023 debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, had a slow rise in the UK chart, before landing at number one last year and catapulting her to fame. She won her first Grammy earlier this year, scooping the best new artist prize. Her latest single The Subway topped the UK charts, while other tracks The Giver, The Subway, Hot to Go and Good Luck Babe all reached the top five. Festival boss Melvin Benn said the line-up was "truly special", adding: "This is one of the youngest average ages for headliners in years, and that's very exciting in itself." Oliver Sykes, the frontman of Bring Me the Horizon, said: "We are beyond excited to be returning to Reading and Leeds for our first fully fledged headline slot. We are going to bring hands down the greatest show of our careers. "It's going to be our only UK performance [of 2025] and the final European show of the Nex Gen [their 2024 album] campaign before the band take time away, so if you want to see BMTH next year, this truly is your only chance. Can't wait." Who else is on the Reading and Leeds line-up? Other acts on the bill will include British indie stalwarts Bloc Party and The Kooks, plus rap heavyweights AJ Tracey and Trippie Redd. They will be joined by DJ Sammy Virji, pop singer Becky Hill and punk-rock duo Soft Play. Fans can also look forward to performances from singer Suki Waterhouse, drum and bass group Rudimental, and Charli XCX collaborator The Dare. The line-up is rounded out by rock bands Enter Shikari, Pale Waves, Wallows, Royel Otis, Wunderhorse and Amyl and the Sniffers. Last year's headliners were Liam Gallagher, Lana Del Rey, Blink-182, Fred Again, Catfish and the Bottlemen and Gerry Cinnamon. Reading and Leeds Festivals will take place between 21 and 24 August
