Stand-up comedian Byron Allen and TV producer Jennifer Lucas welcomed their second daughter OLIVIA ROSE on April 7th. Congratulations!

Their Babies and Names:

Chloe Ava, 19 months

Olivia Rose, brand new

The parents chose familiar names for both girls. Here is the Social Security ranking for each name:

Chloe - #10

Ava - #5

Olivia - #6

Rose - #344

Rose is probably more popular as a middle name than a first name.

Beautiful picks all around! What do you think?

Here are some daring name choices that might fit the bill:

GIRLS’ BABY NAMES

Electra

Orchid

Calypso

BOYS’ BABY NAMES

Phoenix

Dragon

For the record, according to the People article, Diablo’s birth name was Brook Busey. I’d love to interview Diablo about her name. Ms. Cody, if you’re reading this, please, email me.

Baby Names Soaring in Popularity

Published

A topic that comes up over and over again with readers is how to choose names that aren’t going to be too common. I’ve blogged in the past about ways to prevent choosing a name that will be popular in the future.

Here’s another great tool from Social Security to help parents. They’ve put out a handy ranking of the names that moved up the chart the most in the previous year. The 2009 stats aren’t due out for another couple months, but here is the data from 2008.

These are the names that showed the biggest increase in popularity from the previous year. What can this information tell you? In the post I mentioned earlier about predicting what names are going to be popular, one of my tips is to avoid names that are quickly rising on the popularity chart. This list helps you figure out what those names are!

So, if you’re looking for a name that will be unique, avoid the names on this list because they might be destined for even greater popularity in the years to come. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a trendy or stylish name, you might want to use one of these names.

No matter your goal, this is a list you need to know about.

Here goes…the top 20:

GIRLS’ BABY NAMES

KHLOE

MARLEE

MARELY

AUDRINA

MARLEY

DANNA

JASLENE

LILAH

PAISLEY

MILEY

LYLA

HARPER

DAYANA

VALENTINA

LONDON

MYLEE

JIMENA

LYRIC

KAYDEN

EMERY

BOYS’ BABY NAMES

JACOBY

KANE

BECKETT

PAXTON

KALE

AUGUST

BRAYLON

RYKER

KINGSTON

KOLTON

ZAYDEN

BRYCEN

RIVER

MILO

LANDYN

ALIJAH

CASH

ALVIN

JUDE

BYRON

What jumps out at me the most is that on the girl’s list there are three spelling variations of the name MARLEY and two variations of MILEY. These are names to avoid (no matter how you spell it) if you want to avoid popular names.

There’s some celebrity inspiration on this list — obviously MILEY Cyrus. We also have AUDRINA — it’s a beautiful name brought into the spotlight by Audrina Patridge of The Hills fame. No surprise that it caught the attention of parents. PAISLEY may be inspired by Brad Paisley (quite a creative baby namer himself with sons Huckleberry and Jasper).

On the boy’s side we have CASH — the snazzy name of Jessica Alba’s husband, Cash Warren. KINGSTON is the name of Gwen Stephani’s oldest son and it’s probably no accident that his name made it onto this list.

Follow the trends… the –en/-on sound at the end of boys’ names is quite hot and this list shows that loud and clear. There’s PAXTON, BRAYLON, KINGSTON, KOLTON, ZAYDEN, BRYCEN and LANDYN. That’s a little more than a third of all the names on the list.

Another trend we see represented here is the popularity of location names with LONDON on the girl’s list. Ditto for KINGSTON on the boy’s list.

Other names that made the list that may increase in popularity next year:

GIRLS’ BABY NAMES

AUDREY

CORA

DELILAH

FIONA

LILA

MALIA

PENELOPE

PEYTON

STELLA

VIOLET

BOYS’ BABY NAMES

EASTON

ELI

ELLIOT

FINN

GRADY

GRAYSON/GREYSON

HOLDEN

HUDSON

JASPER

KELLEN

LEVI

MADDOX

WESTON

WYATT

What names dropped in popularity? Here are the 20 names that took the biggest slide:

GIRLS’ BABY NAMES

ANGELIQUE

YOSELIN

JADEN

KIRSTEN

ANAHI

ALISSA

JULISSA

ASHLEE

MEREDITH

PAULINA

DAYANARA

DIAMOND

JAIDEN

RACHAEL

JOSELYN

ABRIL

PARIS

MEGHAN

JADYN

RYAN

BOYS’ BABY NAMES

ALDO

BRANDEN

OSVALDO

LELAND

BILLY

NOE

RODNEY

JAYLIN

FELIPE

TOBIAS

CAMRON

NATHANAEL

ORLANDO

TERRANCE

JALEN

JADON

CYRUS

SCOTT

JESSIE

CARL

We see some celebrity backlash here (which always happens eventually) — ORLANDO, CYRUS, PARIS, ASHLEE, JADEN/JAIDEN/JADYN.

The (Unofficial) Twilight Guide to Naming Babies

No matter whether you’re on Team Edward or Team Jacob, we can all agree that Stephenie Meyer knows how to name a character. Wow! The character name list from her Twilight series is full of everything from traditional and classic names to inventive names to stylish International names. There’s a little something for everyone.

On her website, Meyer explains how she came up with the names for her lead characters Edward and Bella. Meyer chose Edward because Edward was the name of Mr. Rochester in Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre and Mr. Ferrars in Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility. She thought the name Edward was “romantic” and, presumably, because it was no longer popular, it worked for a character who had been “dead” for many years. Meyer says that naming Bella was much harder. She ended up using the name she had picked out for a daughter if she ever had one. Risky!

She named other characters by looking through census records and choosing names that were popular in the years the characters were born.

She also revealed some Twilight Name Trivia:

 Rosalie was originally named Carol and Jasper was originally named Ronald. I’m so glad she made the changes! Rosalie and Jasper are so much more memorable and stylish than Carol and Ronald. Don’t you think?

Read what Meyer had to say about character names for yourself: http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/twilight.html

Here’s the list of characters from the Twilight series: Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn. I love the fans over at Wikipedia for being so helpful!

Enjoy and let me know your favorites!

I especially like the name SENNA from the girl’s list. It’s very pretty and unique, without being too unusual. That’s a fine line to walk and many parents are looking for names that fall into this category. Other favorites are CARMEN, ESME, ROSALIE, CARLISLE and LIAM.

You can bet that some of these character names will have an impact on baby name popularity. For example, lately I’ve heard a lot of people mention ALICE and JASPER as possible baby names. Brad Paisley and Kimberly Williams also named their new son Jasper earlier this year, giving it an extra boost of star-appeal. It will be interesting to see if the names transition from being talked about to actually being used – only time will tell (they’ve seen modest bumps already). What do you think will happen? Will the Twilight frenzy translate into baby names?

Do you have any favorite names from this list? Post a comment and let me know.

Also, let me know what you think of New Moon – I can’t wait to see it!

Baby Name Inspiration from the 2009 Fall TV Lineup

Television is a great for source of interesting names. Writers are a creative bunch and when they want a character to stand out, sometimes they use a name to help their cause — think CHANDLER from Friends. Sometimes the names are so interesting that they cross over and become popular with parents — think SAWYER from Lost.

Now that the Fall 2009 TV season is in full swing, it’s a good time to check out some of the character names from the new shows. There just might be some great names for parents-to-be on the hunt for something new and interesting. Here’s the list I put together of some of the memorable character names I found. And since some of the actor’s names were just as interesting, I added those to the list, too.

Let me know what you think. If I missed one of your favorites, add it to the list.

Royals seem to do everything with a little more flare than us commoners and naming babies is no exception. Take a look at the (very) long names of the Danish Royal Family:

MALE NAMES

HENRIK, His Royal Highness The Prince Consort, (born HENRI MARIE JEAN ANDRÉ Count de Laborde de Monpezat)

FREDERIK ANDRÉ HENRIK CHRISTIAN, Prince of Denmark, Crown Prince, Count of Monpezat

CHRISTIAN VALDEMAR HENRI JOHN, Prince of Denmark, Count of Monpezat

JOACHIM HOLGER WALDEMAR CHRISTIAN, Prince of Denmark, Count of Monpezat

NIKOLAI WILLIAM ALEXANDER FREDERIK, Prince of Denmark, Count of Monpezat

FELIX HENRIK VALDEMAR CHRISTIAN, Prince of Denmark, Count of Monpezat

FEMALE NAMES

MARGRETHE ALEXANDRINE ÞORHILDUR INGRID, Her Majesty The Queen

MARY ELIZABETH, Her Royal Highness Crown Princess, Crown Princess of Denmark, Countess of Monpezat

ISABELLA HENRIETTA INGRID MARGRETHE, Princess of Denmark, Countess of Monpezat

MARIE AGATHE ODILE, Her Royal Highness Princess of Denmark, Countess of Monpezat

BENEDIKTE ASTRID INGEBORG INGRID, Princess of Denmark

and the best, longest one of all…

ELISABETH CAROLINE-MATHILDE ALEXANDRINE HELENA OLGA THYRA FEODORA ESTRID MARGARETHE DÉSIRÉE, Princess of Denmark

SOURCE: Official royal website, http://www.kongehuset.dk/english/

One of my favorite things about these royal names is how long they are! I’m not sure why…maybe it’s just the name-lover in me liking the idea of choosing 11 names for a baby, instead of just a first and a middle. I know it would make filling out all those bubbles for the SAT difficult, but I say the more names the better!

What do you think? Post your thoughts and let us know!
