Jade and Léo, the most popular names in 2021 at the hospital
The list of first names of the year is a tradition and 2021 is no exception. For the Annecy basin, they are registered in two civil status services: in Annecy for babies born at the general clinic and in Épagny Metz-Tessy for those born at the Center hospitalier Annecy Genevois (Change).
The town hall of Annecy was unfortunately not able to provide us with its data, because of the cyberattack which affected the computer stations of the town last month.
In Epagny Metz-Tessy, births are on the rise. As of December 29, nearly 2,750 babies had been registered, compared to 2,608 for the whole of the previous year.
In terms of first names, in 2020, Alice, Emma and Jade were the top three for girls; Arthur, Gabriel and Lucas among the boys. Safe bets and classic first names also inspired young parents in 2021, but in a somewhat different order.
