The United States Social Security Administration also released its top baby names of 2022, and Olivia landed number one on their rendition. For boys, Liam took the top spot in the U.S., with the names Elijah and James cracking their top 10.
Todd McCarthy, Ontario’s Minister of Public and Business Service Delivery, said provincial residents and new parents can use ServiceOntario’s 5-in-1 Newborn Bundle to register their newborn baby online from the comfort of their own homes.
“Our government continues to make life easier for new parents by saving them more time to enjoy those precious moments with their newborns.”
