BabyCenter just released their list of the top baby names and baby naming trends for 2012. Interestingly, the characters from "Fifty Shades of Grey" are flying up the list.

The name "Grey," after the character Christian Grey, jumped 18% for boys.  The main female character's name, Anastasia, jumped 10%.  Her nickname Ana jumped 15%. Whatever.

People also decided to name babies after Apple products this year.  The name Mac jumped 12% for boys, the name Apple jumped 15% for girls, and the name Siri jumped 5% for girls.

The top name overall for girls in 2012 was Sophia. The rest of the top 10 are:  Emma, Olivia, Isabella, Ava, Lily, Zoe, Chloe, Mia, and Madison.

The top name overall for boys was Aiden.  The rest of the top 10 are:  Jackson, Ethan, Liam, Mason, Noah, Lucas, Jacob, Jayden, and Jack. 

We NEED to ask - Are your kids named after a book character or something...different...like that? If so, what was the deciding factor that helped you choose your child's name? Also, if you had a baby this year...did the name you picked out make either the boys or girls list?
