Mackenzie
Mackenzie has a number of ties to Canada. It’s the name of the largest and longest river system in Canada and it’s the name that belongs to three of our beloved Prime Ministers: Alexander Mackenzie, Sir Mackenzie Bowell, William Lyon Mackenzie King. This Scottish moniker can be used for both boys and girls and means “son of Kenneth.”
Laurence / Lawrence / Laurie
Any of these names can be associated with another Prime Minister of ours – Sir Wilfred Laurier. Interestingly, all these variations are also unisex!
Harper
Thanks to celebrities like David Beckham and Neil Patrick Harris who named their daughters Harper, the moniker has become increasingly popular for girls! The name originated in the Middle Ages and meant “harp player,” which was a position for boys. Today, the name can be associated with Canadian Prime Minister Steven Harper.
Sydney
Sydney is a community in Nova Scotia and serves as a fantastic name for girls and boys. The name means “Saint Denis” and is quite popular among females in recent years. Alternative spelling swaps the “y” for an “i.”
Nellie / Nelly
Nellie is a bit of a more unusual name choice, but we love how unique it is! Made famous by Canadian singer Nelly Furtado and Nellie McClung of The Famous Five, this moniker is truly Canadian and is suitable for both sexes!
