The annual report from Nova Scotia’s Registry of Vital Statistics says that among the 5,922 registered births this year, 35 babies were named Henry.  

The next most popular baby names in Nova Scotia were Theodore, with 34 babies given that name, and Oliver, with 31 babies.

In New Brunswick, there was a tie for the top baby name this year between Liam and Olivia.

Other names that made the top of both provinces’ lists include Benjamin, William, Charlotte, Violet and James.
