[Opinions] Re: Celebrity-Inspired Names in the Top 1000
in reply to a message by molly
I think some of those are surely inspired by pop cultute, but some I think not so much or I think of a different pop culture thing that could have inspired it. For example I started hearing of babies named Dawson after Titanic came out.

It's sort of hard to differentiate between Titanic and Dawson's Creek as influences on Dawson because they both premiered at about the same time (the film opened in December 1997, the TV show in January 1998). So they both may have been part of the sharp upswing in the name's use that came about in 1998 and 1999. :)
