I always thought our governments were working hard on our behalf.
Being told by the province what the favourite names were for new born children this year – does sound like government work that taxpayers pay for.
Nevertheless here is that story:
The top baby names in Ontario in 2023 were Olivia and Noah. Olivia has clinched the number one spot as the top baby girl name in Ontario for 15 consecutive years. Charlotte also continued as a favourable choice and came in as the second-most popular name for girls.
Noah took the top spot as the most popular name for boys for the fifth year in a row, with Liam following closely behind. We also welcomed Mila and Henry to the top baby names of 2023.
There isn’t a Father in Canada that doesn’t remember this moment
The top 10 names for girls and boys in 2023 were:
Girls:
Olivia, Charlotte, Amelia, Emma, Sophia, Mia, Sofia, Ava, Mila and Isla
Boys:
Noah, Liam, Theodore, Oliver, Jack, Lucas, Benjamin, William, Leo and Henry.
“Welcoming a new baby and choosing a name is one of life’s most meaningful milestones, and our government is dedicated to helping new parents focus on these special moments rather than paperwork,” said Todd McCarthy, Minister of Public and Business Service Delivery and Procurement. “With ServiceOntario’s 5-in-1 Newborn Bundle, we’ve made it easier for Ontario parents to register their newborns and apply for essential documents like birth certificates and Social Insurance Numbers—all from the comfort of their home.”
Parents should register their child’s birth within 30 days of welcoming their newborn.
