The Top 100 Baby Names Of 2014, According To Nameberry


According to Nameberry, the most popular baby names for 2014 are Imogen for girls and Asher for boys. Nameberry's Top 100 list is based on the number of views each name attracted on the website, out of a total of nearly 50 million views in 2014.



But the biggest news is the huge influence of television and celebrities on names zooming up Nameberry’s popularity list. The "Game of Thrones"-inspired girls’ name Khaleesi ranks at Number 2, with Daenerys also in the Nameberry Top 100.



On the boys’ side, new names entering the Top 10 are Silas, popularized by "Weeds," along with Jasper, Milo and Ezra. The biggest leaps were the Jolie-Pitt-influenced Knox, up 60 places, followed by Archer and Ryker.



The three names climbing furthest up the Nameberry Top 100 for girls are Ellie, Cordelia and Maya; others include Adeline, plus four stylish L-names: Lucy, Lila, Louisa and Luna.



Names that made the biggest slides are emblematic of pop culture shifts. For girls, names losing popularity include Katniss from "The Hunger Games" along with popular celebrity baby choices Harper, Seraphina, and Everly. For boys, Flynn, of "Breaking Bad," dropped 67 places, followed by Christian of 50 Shades of Grey and Arlo of "Justified." Even George, as in 2013’s little prince, lost 36 spots.
