2020 has been a tumultuous year, which is a sentiment even the annual rankings of baby names in Canada couldn’t escape.
Despite this year’s rankings shifting drastically, the names that stood mostly unchanged from last year stand as a testament to their popularity. Olivia climbed up one place from last year to knock out the previous champion, Sophia. Emma continued its ascent for another year taking second place while Mia crawled back up the chart to sit at number three this year.
