According to the Government of Ontario, the most popular baby names in the province in 2020 were again Olivia and Noah.
Here are Ontario’s top 10 girl names and top 10 boy names of 2020:
Girl Names
- Olivia, 762 baby girls
- Charlotte
- Emma
- Amelia
- Sophia
- Ava
- Isla
- Chloe
- Evelyn
- Mia
Boy Names
- Noah, 785 baby boys
- Liam
- Benjamin
- Oliver
- Jack
- Lucas
- Theodore
- William
- Ethan
- Leo
The last time Ontario published top-ten lists was 2017 — we only have top-five lists for both 2018 and 2019 — so I can’t directly compare these rankings to anything. But the press release noted that the names new to the top 10 in 2020 were Isla on the girls’ side and Theodore and Leo on the boys’ side.
