Help[Opinions] Re: Popularity
in reply to a message by Jacob/Isabella
Jacob and Isabella are a far cry from something like Bilbo and Cinderella.
Twilight wasn't published until 2005, and Isabella was already #6 at that point and had been rising steadily through the 1990s.
Jacob has been #1 for the past decade, and was #5 for the 1990s.
I personally like a lot of literary names, so I don't care if names come from a book or not. Just the *trend* with Twilight names gets under my skin and I don't have any interest in vampires so the whole attraction to naming a child after a fictitious vampire is lost on me. I don't think that most of these parents are naming their kids after Twilight characters though, seeing as the names were so common *before* the first book was released.
