Baby Names 2010

[sandtree]

It's that magical time of the year again: the time when I lose my mind and continue to believe it's a great use of my time to tally up statistics on baby names in Windsor. As I've said before, this represents babies born in Windsor and Essex County (Ontario, Canada) in 2010, but only those whose parents had the money and/or inclination to put them in this annual feature.

If you're curious, or want to compare, here are the entries I've made for previous years:

2009

2008

2007

2006

Yeah... there are a lot of Italian people in my city who apparently don't care what the names they give their babies look like in English. :P

You seem to have a lot of Italians hanging around. Also French people, but that's less surprising.

The names seem on the whole less weird this year than in years past. I did skim or skip most of the one each lists, though.

Yes, there are A LOT of Italians around here. Also, the Italians seem to love announcing things in the paper, whereas other large groups like, say, the Lebanese, just don't...

The names seemed a lot less weird on the whole this year to me as well. There also seem to be fewer names each year. I'm not sure if this is because fewer babies are being born here, or because fewer people are putting their babies in this feature, or maybe both.
