SSA for Canada?

Hey Berries…

I’d really love to find a top 1000 names in [name]Canada[/name], updated every year. I’ve Googled a ton and looked at the Registrar website and all that, but all I’ve been able to find is the top 100 names for 2009 :frowning:

Anyone know of anything?

Thanks!

I’ve looked for the same thing and only come up with 2009, like you. However, some provinces do their own lists – BC has a top 100 from last year, I think, and [name]Alberta[/name] has a list of every single name given in the province every year since 1990, with numbers (which is kind of an amazing thing to behold, as a name lover, even if some of them are seriously embarrassing). I did look for one for [name]Ontario[/name], once, but couldn’t find anything.

I’d love to see how our top 100 compares to the USA, especially with French influence and stronger ties to British naming tradition, etc.

I remember seeing an interactive map for baby names in different neighborhoods in Toronto. I’m sorry I don’t have the link, but it exists.

I can’t seem to find a comprehensive list either. I’m in [name]Alberta[/name], and they currently only have up to 2009 on their [name]Vital[/name] Statistics website. I emailed (back in [name]March[/name] or [name]April[/name], I think) and asked when 2010 would be posted. They told me it gets posted in [name]June[/name] or [name]July[/name], but so far, it’s not there.

I know of this site http://www.babynamefacts.com/popularnames/countries.php?country=QBC
which has 2010 for most of [name]Canada[/name] I believe many others. I presume it is accurate? - although not related to the government.

I’ve found the link! Mind you it’s from 2005-2009, but still so cool, especially since this is close to home for me! Thanks! The Ultimate BabyFile Guide: Everything Parents Need to Know - Open File – Source Of Information
