HelpPopular Names in British Columbia
in reply to a message by number1212
Looking at the list for popular baby names in British Columbia, Canada (my province) I was surprised to see the following:
Boys: Hayden (I know one boy with this name, but everyone finds it uncommon), Riley (seriously? I always considered this more of a girl's name, I don't know any Rileys), Kai (does anyone know the orgin of this name? Sounds Asian...) and Carter (don't know any Carters).
Girls: Trinity (??? I have never met or heard of a Trinity before), Neveah (again, what orgin is this? Indian? I like it), and the fact that Makayla was above Mikayla, while I always thought Mikayla was the more common spelling.

May depend what part of BC you're from what the trends are too.

Victoria and Nanaimo!
I'm form Victoria, but I've lived in many different "neighborhoods" around the area, like Saanich and the Peninsula. I'm going to the university up here in Nanaimo!
I've actually lived on Shawnigan Lake as well! I've lived in a ton of different areas on the lower lower Island :)
Are you from Japan, or just living there?

just living here... graduated from Cow High... and did my first 2 yrs. of uni at Malaspina... I think Nanaimo was my favourite place of the 3 to live... had a good group of friends there... a few of which are still there and others of which are scattered around... 1 of my best friends that I met there came to Jpn. a year before I did and is still here (just worked out that way... I was thinking Jpn. from the start, but she didn't know what country she'd wind up in.. she's a long schlep on local trains from here though).

I've encountered and heard about multiple Haydens in BC... not really what appeals to me as a fn, but most surnames don't
I always considered Riley a boys' name and was surprised when they started using it on girls.
I think there are multiple languages with the name Kai... 1 is Jpns., but I believe there are others.
Originally thought of Michaela as the standard spelling.

**NOTE** - Neveah is actually spelled Nevaeh, my mistake.
