Movie Star Baby Names 2004

Throughout the 20th century, movie celebrities have had a huge impact on baby names and naming trends.

Many movie celebrities want to their children to have unique names or unusual names, reflecting on the fact that movie stars themselves are a unique group of people.

The publicity surrounding these unusual or unique celebrity babies may be enough to increase the popularity of a baby name dramatically.

As an example of how celebrity baby naming can have an effect on popularity, since soccer star David and singer Victoria Beckham named their baby boy "Brooklyn", the popularity of that name has risen from 187th most popular to 119th most popular name (and here's the celebrity name twist) for baby girls (Brooklyn Beckham is a boy).
