This year's baby name trends also show that traditional royal names reign supreme - with both William and Harry in the top 10. While names inspired by celebrities and sporting stars also feature in the list.
Grace, made famous by the Hollywood screen siren Grace Kelly, slipped back into third place behind Ruby, the name of singer Charlotte Church's baby daughter.
Jack has been top for 14 years since it took over from Thomas. But this year Jack only just managed to retain its place despite stiff competition from Oliver.
The biggest movers in the girls' list were Isla, which climbed from 58th to 35th and the 1960s-inspired Summer, which climbed 28 places from 44th to 16th.
According to the survey of 380,000 babies born in the UK in 2008 by parenting club Bounty, Ava - the name of singer and television personality Myleene Klass's daughter - also leapt 15 places to 19th.
Theo, obviously inspired by England's teenage football hero Theo Walcott, is among the biggest climbers in the boys' list, rising from 70th to 58th.
The long and painful demise, until recently, of singer Amy Winehouse is clearly having an effect on the numbers choosing Amy as a first name. It dropped three places to 23rd.
Meanwhile Holly, the name of Davina McCall's and Richard Branson's daughters, is clearly suffering from fatigue, dropping six places to 25th.
Its variant spelling Hollie dropped out of the list, along with Tegan, Patrick, Dominic and Gabriel.
Celebrity inspired Zac, name of High School Musical actor Zac Efron, Jude, as in Jude Law and the American moniker Cody are also new entries.
Liam and Dylan broke into the top 20 for the first time replacing Ryan and Luke while Callum also slipped significantly - from 13th to 22nd.
Faye Mingo of Bounty says: "Parents are continuing to be creative and inspirational when choosing names for their children.
"Some parents want a name that's unique, and names such as Zebedee, Selim and Zenon are now emerging and growing in popularity. Others are simply breaking with convention and becoming bolder in their choice of names.
"Biblical names like Samuel and Matthew still remain popular but Mark, Luke and John have fallen out of favour. Joshua, Jacob, Noah and Isaac are becoming their contemporaries. In fact, boy's names have witnessed the biggest changes over the decade as parents are increasingly influenced by American culture and celebrity trends relating to films and sports personalities."
Traditional royal names also continue to reign supreme in the boys top 100, she adds.
"But in the girls' top 100 only Victoria and Elizabeth take their influence from royalty, and modern day princesses like Beatrice, Eugenie and Zara don't even feature in the charts.
Instead, parents are more likely to name girls after a movie star or celebrity.
"Parents are more likely to copy celebrity choices of baby girls names. Sometimes these work well, like Ava and Ruby, daughters of Myleene Klass and Charlotte Church."
British mums seemed however to have drawn the line at imitating the name of Tom Cruise's baby daughter Suri, or Angelina Jolie's baby Shiloh.
