Choosing a baby name can be agonizing for parents. Some parents shoot for originality, some for traditionalism and almost none avoid the comments of well-meaning friends and family. Many of the most popular baby names are hundreds or even thousands of years old in origin.
Each year Government Services, the provincial department responsible for vital statistics, publishes a list of Alberta’s top baby names. It’s a favourite with parents who are attempting to choose the perfect name for their child. The list of most popular girl and boy names is compiled from the Registration of Live Birth forms completed by parents and processed by the department.
Here are the most popular names for your chooses.
