Olivia is top girl’s name in Nova Scotia, mirroring trend across Canada
HALIFAX — New figures suggest wherever you live in Canada, it’s increasingly likely you’ll meet several people named Olivia.
Nova Scotia announced Thursday that Olivia is the top girl’s baby name in the province for 2016, in keeping with a cross-country trend.
Ontario and Manitoba announced this week that Olivia was number one in those provinces too — for the fifth year in a row in Ontario — although Ontario’s numbers are from 2015.
The most recent figures put Olivia tops in Alberta as well, and a close second in B.C. to Emma.
