ArchivesRe: Did people actually name their kids "M" in Canada?
in reply to a message by I like old names
Could it have been an abbreviation for "male" if the baby was unnamed at the time of the notation?

The "name" M actually appears in the girls' list. As Higuma mentioned, this is likely an abbreviation for Mary, Maria or Marie. J appears on the boys' list (for John/Jean perhaps).
M and J only appear in the Ontario data from the early 1920s.
