With 2022 just hours away, many of the popular New Year’s Eve wrap-ups and traditions are well underway.
One of these provincial favourites is the annual list of most popular baby names born for the year in British Columbia.
And it has been released for 2021!
The data, collected by the Vital Statistics Agency preliminary figures, was collected from January 1st to December 15th 2021.
The top name for 2021 was Olivia, coming in first for another year after topping the list in 2020.
Olivia was followed by Liam, Noah, Jack, Emma, Benjamin, Theodore, Oliver and Charlotte.
To celebrate the new beginnings of a new year, many people have also joined BCLC in guessing which hospital in BC the first baby will be born!
Last year, Vancouver’s B.C. Women’s Hospital welcomed the first baby of the year, a seven-pound, four-ounce baby girl at 12:21 a.m. on New Year’s Day.
While online betting for 2022 is closed, you can still let us know where (and when!) you think the first baby will be born!
