Happy New Year!

I look forward to new baby name trends in 2013. We can't deny the power of pop culture. Baby Names are heavily influenced by what celebs name their kids. They're even influenced by fictional characters such as the name Cullen from Twilight. It was nowhere until the Twilight phenomenon put it on the map. I can't wait to see what Kimye names their spawn. It will no doubt influence what people name their kids. Kourtney named her son Mason in 2009. The name jumped from 34 to 2 in just two years. Will it be # 1 this year? Maybe. We will have to wait. The annual social security list of popular names doesn't come out until around March. Will people start naming their daughters Max? I sure hope not. Jessica Simpson named her daughter Maxwell Drew. That is my most hated female celeb baby name of the year. Jessica is pregnant again. Boy or girl? Doesn't seem to matter. The kid will have a male name. The most surprising celeb name of the year for me has to be Tennessee Toth. That's the name that Reese Witherspoon gave to her son. Her other kids are named Deacon and Ava. I think Cash/Kash will continue to grow for boys. Kim Zolciak-Bierman named her son Kash. Would be a good one for the Kimye baby, right?  Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves named their son Livingston Alves McConaughey. That one was so odd compared to Levi and Vida. Apparently, Matthew likes the term "livin". Keep on living. I guess that's the nickname. Odd. Not that crazy though. I've seen worse.

Now for some horrible names from around the country:
