Help[Opinions] Do celebrities set our naming trends?
I've been wondering this for a while, because on the rare occasion that a celebrity names their child something normal (not Dweezil, Moxie, Kal-el, etc.), it seems to gain more and more popularity among us.
Take, for example, the name Deacon. Before Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon named their son this in October of 2003, the name didn't rank on the popularity lists and wasn't even part of the database here. Now, almost two years later, it has ranked 891st and has been added to the database due to an increase in popularity.
Or how about Ava, or Lola, or Roman, or Rowan, or Oliver? I realize that some of these names are classics or perhaps have already been on people's favorites lists for years, but each time a new celebrity baby is named, that particular name makes a huge surge up the popularity charts.
Anyone else notice this, or is it just me?
