The most popular baby names in Alberta, Canada, came out a couple of weeks ago.
According to the Alberta government, the province’s top names were Liam for boys and Emma for girls.
Here are the top 10 girl names and top 10 boy names of 2012:
Baby Girl Names | Baby Boy Names |
---|---|
1. Emma 2. Olivia 3. Emily 4. Sophia 5. Ava 6. Lily 7. Ella 8. Isabella 9. Abigail 10. Chloe | 1. Liam 2. Ethan 3. Jacob 4. Logan 5. Mason 6. Benjamin 7. Lucas 8. Alexander 9. Carter 10. Noah |
Another name mentioned in the press release was Minaj — one that I’m kinda surprised hasn’t shown up on the U.S. list yet.
