In addition to the Top 20, our statisticians are lovely and gracious enough to list all other names used five or more times in our province in any given year. I looked up my family's names:
Miranda: 21
Jean Hope: less than 5, 15
Carole-Anne: less than 5, 8
Dennis James: 10, 164

I just want to say, I'm back baby! Jaclyn made it with 7 users :D
I just can't believe how popular Finn type names are becoming, Finnegan had 7, Finlay 5, Finley 15, and Finn 22. Yikes, I better use it before it becomes to popular. At least Harrison is holding steady at 28, Kiefer isn't on the list, Grace is still not Emma popular (I can handle #10), and Lily isn't in the top 20.

I'm not sure
All our provinces are separate in regards to these kinds of stats. Alberta has a list (http://governmentservices.gov.ab.ca/vs/top10_names.cfm), but I haven't looked for the other provinces.

Proud adopter of 15 punctuation marks; see my profile for their names.

Jessica
Hailey (Not this spelling though; I like Haylie and Hayley)
Chloe
Julia
Lauren
Ethan
Joshua
Nathan
Liam
James
Owen
Logan (prefer for a girl)
