Ontario’s most popular baby names for 2023 have been released and the winners are…Olivia and Noah. Olivia has clinched the number one spot as the top baby girl name in Ontario for 15 consecutive years. Charlotte also continued as a favourable choice and came in as the second-most popular name for girls.
Noah took the top spot as the most popular name for boys for the fifth year in a row, with Liam following closely behind. We also welcomed Mila and Henry to the top baby names of 2023.
The top 10 names for girls and boys in 2023 were:
| Girls | Boys |

2. Charlotte 3. Amelia 4. Emma 5. Sophia 6. Mia 7. Sofia 8. Ava 9. Mila 10. Isla |

“Welcoming a new baby and choosing a name is one of life’s most meaningful milestones, and our government is dedicated to helping new parents focus on these special moments rather than paperwork,” said Todd McCarthy, Minister of Public and Business Service Delivery and Procurement. “With ServiceOntario’s 5-in-1 Newborn Bundle, we’ve made it easier for Ontario parents to register their newborns and apply for essential documents like birth certificates and Social Insurance Numbers—all from the comfort of their home.”
Parents should register their child’s birth within 30 days of welcoming their newborn.
The results match an October 2024 report from Statistics Canada’s about the most popular names of 2023.
The report goes on to say that girl names ending in “a” are all the rage: Olivia, Emma, Amelia, Sophia, Mia, Mila and Sofia were among the top 10 girl names for babies born in 2023.
You to can how your own name measures up in the Baby Names Observatory, an interactive data visualization tool that is updated each year along with the release of new births data.
Congrats to all of the parents who welcomed a new family member this year!
