Canada is going retro when it comes to baby names.
Number one on the lists is Emma for girls and Liam for boys.
Biblical names are still popular in the country with Jacob, Sarah, Samuel and Noah all in the top ten monikers.
Also big were names deriving from the British Isles, especially for boys, with Liam topping the list and Aidan number 18 for boys. Isla for girls crept up the list this year from number 75 in 2012 to number 57 this year.
