The top baby names for Manitoba in 2024
Manitoba’s top baby names remained mostly unchanged for 2024, though some new contenders made their way into the top 10.
A preliminary list from the province showed “Olivia” remained the most popular girl’s name in 2024. It was followed by Sophia, Emma, Amelia, and Lily – all of which were on the list for 2023. New additions included Ivy, Violet, Nora, Ella, and Chloe.
The name “Noah” kept its hold on the boy’s list, followed by Theodore and Liam. The three names also made the top three spots in 2023.
Levi, Oliver, Lucas, James, Leo, Benjamin, and Luke rounded out the top 10 – none of which made the list the year prior.
The province said things could shift slightly as babies born on Dec. 30 and 31 are still being registered.
