It's true: Baby names are commonly a result of celebrity or media-influenced trends, but this year's grouping is a shocking demonstration of life imitating art. Character names from the Twilight saga—Edward, Bella, Isabella, Emmett, Jacob, Jasper and Esme (all from the Cullen coven of vampires other than Jacob, the werewolf)—have all made the top of the list.
There wasn't much surprise in the number-one popular girl's name, Amelia—which, according to Mallory Moss, cofounder of BabyNames.com (the site that released the list), is a result of the popular old-fashioned, American Girl-esque name trend. But Moss believes that it's no coincidence that the name Vivienne, which was also at the top of the list, is that of Brangelina's baby girl, born last year.
As for the gentlemen: The number-one name this year, at the top of the list since 2003, is Aidan. Hmm. As we can recall, it was during 2002 that Aidan Shaw, the Sex and the City character played by the very dreamy John Corbett, was the most lusted-over good guy there was.
We're just relieved this copycat trend didn't pick up with such force following the Harry Potter series. Nobody wants a million little Hermiones and Dumbledores running around.
