I'm going to start on the West Coast and work my way across the country, suggesting alternatives for popular names in each province. I've used the BC Vital Statistics Agency website to compile the top 50 most popular names for baby boys in B.C. for 2009. I've added up variations in spelling to try to keep things consistent.
I tried to pick names that I thought kept the feel or spirit of the popular name, but were far less common.
