The year of the vampire

With "Cullen" leaping 300 spots in the charts, Stephanie Meyer has changed the fashion for baby names.

The most popular boy’s name was Jacob, an eternal favorite that happens to be the name of the buff rival of paler-than-thou Edward: Jacob Black. The most popular name for girls was Isabella, the progenitor of Bella, the love interest of both Edward the vampire and Jacob the werewolf. Just plain Bella logs in at 58.

These are baby names for white people, you understand, and so of diminishing statistical consequence. Flea-favs Sheniqua and, of course, Mohammed will most likely remain unaffected no matter the popularity of the Twilight franchise.
