BabyNames.com compiles its name ranking from
the site members' favorite name lists.
Entertainment is influencing baby naming more than ever," says BabyNames.com founder, Jennifer Moss. "We're seeing celebrity names and character names flooding the popularity charts. The name Liam, for example, started to become popular after the actor Liam Neeson, but then jumped to #1 when Liam Hemsworth came on the scene.
Parents are also using popular character names from fiction, especially television. Moss says the name Aria/Arya hit the top ten names for girls after the television shows Pretty Little Liars and Game of Thrones both featured popular characters with that name.
So what entertainment names are rising fast? According to the BabyNames.com trends, we will be seeing more baby boys named Archer (Archer), Finnick (The Hunger Games) and Atticus (To Kill a Mockingbird). For girls, watch for Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Hazel (The Fault in our Stars), and Piper (Orange is the New Black).
The full list of the 100 most popular names of 2014 can be found on the BabyNames.com website.
