These rankings are pretty different from the 2014 rankings. Zoe, Aria and Mia replaced Sadie, Ella and Lily on the girls’ side, and Benjamin, Lincoln, Wyatt, Hunter and Jack replaced Mason, Jacob, Logan, Carter on the boys’ side.

The government of Saskatchewan does have the right to reject baby names it deems unacceptable, but this rarely happens:

“I have never denied a name, I’ve never even had one brought to me to look at,” said Pat Dean, registrar with Vital Statistics and director of Health Registries.

For the last eight years there has not been a name submitted that’s been objectionable to Vital Statistics.

Objectionable names include those that could be confusing (like “Baby”) or embarrassing.
