There were a lot of babies born in Alberta last year and with that came many new names to keep track of.
The province recently released a list of all the names given to newborns for both boys and girls.

This is the fourth year in a row that Noah has taken the top spot. Ethan, which fell off the list this year, holds the record for most consecutive years at the top spot at nine (2001-2009).
Some of the more unique boy names included Fourth, December, Billionaire, Despot, Volcanic, and Excellent.

The girls were also subject to some rather creative names as well, such as Heaven-Fire, Queen, Seven, Turquoise, and Scotland.
