The girls’ top 100 included Alya (53rd), Diane (81st), Maddy (90th), and Suzanne (97th).
The boys’ top 100 included Camille (61st), Mahé (66th), Basile (78th), and Andrea (91st).
Charlie is still rising on the girls’ side — which could explain why the parents of baby boys slightly prefer the spelling Charly (73rd) over the spelling Charlie (80th) these days.
In the capital city of Paris last year, the top boy name was also Gabriel, but the top girl name was Alma instead of Jade. (Jade was tied with Léa for 10th/11th place in Paris.)

Below are some of the baby names that were bestowed just once in Quebec last year:
Zotique can be traced back to the ancient Greek word zotikos, meaning “full of life, alive.”
Joanassie and Paulasie (which were mentioned in the post about Canada’s 2021 rankings) are two examples of Inuktitut-influenced Christian names.
And one last name I wanted to throw in was Minokimin, which was part of a longer boy name bestowed in Quebec last year. Minokimin refers to one of the eight Algonquin seasons — specifically, to the period in late spring during which ice thaws and plants begin to grow.
Paris, the capital of France, has an area of 41 square miles and a population of about 2.1 million — making it the 30th most densely populated city in the world.
