New York, May 7 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Jacob and Isabella are on the Number one spot on the list of the top baby names. Perhaps this is the ‘Twilight’ effect, as the names from the Stephanie Meyer’s series are quite popular, and are also the craze when small babies are being named. The name ‘Cullen’ is also not far behind and is steadily rising on the list as well. It ought to be mentioned that Edward Cullen is one of the lead characters in the Twilight series.

The Social Security Administration makes this annual list, and ‘Jacob’ is at the top spot for the 11th consecutive time. Whereas ‘Emma’ was at the top spot earlier, and this year around it was edged out by ‘Isabella’. The list was released on Friday. However there are a number of similarities in this year’s list and the list for 2008, as Jayden and Noah are back in the Top 10 names for boys. And ‘Mia’ also made its entry in the Top 10 names for girls.

“Anything can influence baby names, from pop culture to literature, to music and celebrities,” according to Jennifer Moss, who is the author of “The One-in-a-Million Baby Name Book” and also the founder of Babynames.com
