Popular baby names in Alberta, Canada (2007)

After some recent feature updates, I've begun updating the Baby Name Map with popular baby name statistics for 2007. I've started with my home province of Alberta, Canada which publishes a complete list of every baby name given throughout the year. For 2007, Ethan retained top spot among boys though Jacob is moving up the list. On the girls side, Ava also maintained the top spot with Emma and Emily close behind. My wife and I will be drawing on these updated stats to help us narrow down our potential name lists in the next month or so.

Since Alberta publishes complete statistics, even rare names turn up in the data. A co-worker of mine had a cute baby girl in November that was named Elina. Searching on the map for that name shows that only two other girls in Alberta shared that name with her in 2007.
