Ontario has revealed the top baby names for 2021, and this girls' name just can't be beat. The list includes 20 names in total, and many of last year's popular names are still featured, including one that has topped the list for over a decade.
On December 12, 2023, Ontario released the most popular names for newborns in 2021. The roundup is always a year behind to ensure that names from the current year have time to be registered.
The top girls' name of 2021 is Olivia for the twelfth year running. Emma has moved from third place to second, beating out Charlotte from 2020.
As for boys, the most popular name of 2021 is Noah for the third year in a row. Liam has ranked second once again, and Oliver has moved from fourth place to third.
