No more fussing through the pages of a baby name book. Canada has its own online baby name database now.

Overview

  • Olivia remains the most popular baby girl name in Ontario for the 15th consecutive year, followed by Charlotte, Amelia, Emma, and Sophia in the top five.
  • Noah continues as the top baby boy name in the province for the fifth year in a row, with Liam, Theodore, Oliver, and Jack completing the top five.
  • Regional variations show slight differences, with names like Mia sharing the top spot with Olivia in Toronto and Adam leading among boys in Ottawa.
  • New entrants to Ontario's top 10 lists include Mila for girls and Henry for boys, reflecting evolving naming trends.
  • Parents have up to a year to register their child's name, meaning the 2023 list includes names from babies born as late as December 2023.
