HelpRe: celeb baby name popularity question
in reply to a message by auria
Well, most of the time, the names are "just" starting to gain popularity, and would likely become (somewhat equally) popular whether or not a celebrity used them. I think someone famous using the name, just gives it a little boost, like Hazel, in 1997 it appeared back on the charts at #979, and for 2003 it was #681.
If Julia Roberts hadn't used it, we'd probably see notiable popularity in 10-15 years, but she did use it, and therefore more people are thinking about/hearing it (which would also happen, if it gained slowly, it would just be a few people at a time).
So, basically, I think they're just on the front end of the trend, not creating it.
