Just thought you ladies might find this interesting. The provincial lists are interesting too -- especially Quebec's: https://www.todaysparent.com/pregnancy/pregnancy/article.jsp?content=20110120_112739_6340&page=1

Thanks for posting, I didn't realize they were out yet! So sad that Nevaeh is in the top 50 though. I also found Quebec's top names for 2009 the most interesting.

It's good to know we're not the only country stuck with Nevaehs.   This list was interesting to see.  DS's name, Elijah, is 21 on the SSA list but only 100 here.

I am wondering about this list, Tyler came in at something like 80, seems very surprising to me.

I found Nunavut's interesting too.  Peter as #1 for boys.

I like how they aggregate different spellings of the same name.  To me, that's a more accurate representation of a names usage.  Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, I was just looking at this the other day but didn't realize it had JUST come out. I love that you can check by province. I am in Ontario but I'll definitely be checking the BC and Quebec lists as well since they tend to have the best names!

Maybe I should move to Canada where people realize Sophie is French name like Marie and not a nn for Sophia! lol

L's name is all over that list:

Lucas (6) Matthew (9) James (27)

If A was a boy, her name would have been: Alexander Jacob Daniel

One of E's MN is there and one of A's middle name is there but more towards the middle and end. Oh, and my dog is #11.

Guess I like popular boy names but less common girl names!

(The only little Sophia I've met had the NN "Fia"(given by her twin sister) and was never called Sophie...to me, they're totally different names with the same root--you don't see people claiming Caroline is a NN for Charlotte, or vice-versa, even though they're both feminized variants of Charles...)

My son's name, Andrew, is 16 in Ontario but 82 in Canada. Quebec has a large population that really skews the results. In a good way! I'll definitely be looking at the Quebec list to name baby #2 when the time comes (we have a French last name and we both have French roots).

I loved the Quebec list the best.
