[Opinions] Re: Popularity
I didn't mean the names Jacob and Isabella specifically, just the idea of naming kids after a trend. Harry (Potter), Hermione, Storm (x-men) etc.
Also I think there is a difference between literary names and (tween) crazes with people relatively soon forgotten.

You put your name as Jacob/Isabella so I figured you wanted a response to the specific Twilight names.
My bad, sorry.
I think there's a huge difference between more classical literary names and the new series as well, but I guess one isn't inherently better than the other.
While I like a lot of literary names, I wouldn't say I'm naming my kids *after* a character.
