User blog:Bchwood/America naming their babies after Vampires

The newest trend in baby names is no longer naming your children after celebrities, but rather naming them after the vampires played by celebrities.

The movie Twilight is not only influencing a nation obsessed with vampires, it is also the inspiration for many baby names this year, according to the federal Social Security agency. Nationwide, Jacob is top choice for a boys name while Bella tops the charts nationally for the most popular girls name. Jacob and Isabella (Bella) are the names of the main characters in the Twlight series, played by Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart, respectively.

According to federal agency reports, the second fastest riser on the boys’ list is Kellan, the name of actor Kellan Lutz, who portrays Emmett Cullen in the Twilight movie series.
