There are so many elements that go into naming a child, including religious and family traditions or whoever a parent might be most enamoured with at the time of their child's birth.
The names chosen most frequently by parents in GTA for 2020 were Olivia for baby girls, followed by Ema. GTA parents chose Noah for their baby boys, followed closely by Liam.
Oliva was also the most chosen baby name in Ontario, and Noah was the top boy's name for 2020. Olivia has held the top position for 11 years in a row.

Registering your child's birth
Parents should register their child's birth within 30 days of welcoming their newborns.
ServiceOntario's 5-in-1 Newborn Bundle was updated this past fall, making it even easier to register a birth.
The refreshed Newborn Bundle allows parents to quickly apply for their child's birth certificate, Social Insurance Number, Canada Child Benefits (including the Ontario Child Benefit), and Education Savings Referral service all through one application.
