Sophia and Jackson are still the most popular baby names among parents, but others still enjoy naming their babies after pop culture characters.
BabyCenter posted its most popular baby names list for 2014 today. Sophia continues her streak as the top girls name for a fifth straight year. Jackson is the No. 1 boys name for a second straight year.
These names may remain timeless, but names from Netflix shows have shown surprising growth. According to USA Today, BabyCenter found that names from House of Cards were all up over 2013. The number of babies named Frank shot up 19 percent, apparently because parents want their babies to become power-hungry politicians.
Orange is the New Black names were also popular. Galiana jumped 67 percent this year from 2013.
Shonda Rhimes also inspired parents, as names from How To Get Away With Murder, Scandal and Grey’s Anatomy were all more popular.
BabyCenter’s lists are a bit different from the Social Security Administration’s list. While the federal agency agreed that Sophia was the most popular girls name of 2013, they found that Noah was the top boys name last year.
BabyCenter’s results came from 406,000 parents who registered at the site. Different spellings were also combined.
