Popular names of the moment
The popular baby names of the moment are always revelatory of the current mood, traditional ones being in vogue in Quebec right now. The piece also notes that Arthur, Édouard, Jules, Victor, Henri, Hubert and Léon are in the top 50 for boys. (Where are Omer, Ludger and Hormisdas now?)
Quebec also reports on the names of those accessing their old age pensions for the first time: Sylvie, Johanne, Linda, Michel, Daniel and Alain.

The interesting one is Charlie for girls.
Maverick comes in at #50 for boys. It’s a pretty cool name.

Apparently I have a first cousin twice removed called Mavrik.
