If you're looking for some inspo on what to name your little one, the top 100 baby names in Canada have just been revealed for your browsing needs.

According to BabyCenter, the top three names for little boys in 2021 in The Great White North were Noah, Jackson and Liam, while for girls it was Amelia, Sophia and Olivia. You can use this info to either give your baby a familiar name, or use it to come up with something a little more unique.

In terms of trends, Amelia moved up six places from 2020 to reign in the number one position for girls.

"This name has Latin origins and means “industrious” and “striving,” which could explain its fighting power in making it to the top," says BabyCenter on the popular name. "Its Germanic meaning is also “defender,” suggesting it might be a hard title to defeat in 2022."

The names Nova and Eleanor were the movers and shakers this year as they skyrocketed up the list considerably to land in spots 38 and 12 respectively.
