Is your name still common? What Canadian baby names reveal about how we’ve changed

In 1954, Ontario registered 2,776 baby Marys; by 2023, just 44. Alberta's name registry shows why: births rose a third since 1980 but unique names nearly tripled, leaving today's kids with the least name-sharing on record.
