New parents may no longer be turning the pages of this book to find a name for their child instead they are perusing the well worn pages of these books for inspiration.
The annual list of top baby names has been released and there is something familiar about some of the names. Especially if you are a fan of the Twilight series of books by Stephanie Meyer. Apparently readers are taking their love of the characters and creating their own Bellas, Jacobs, Edwards and even Cullens.

If you are going to point out a pop culture influence for the names shouldn't we go back to the Friends episode where Ross and Rachel are deciding between Emma and Isabelle/Isabella for their daughter? That seemed to cause the initial surge in popularity for those two names. Just saying.
