Fifty Shades of Grey Is a Great Source for Baby Names

It's the hottest title out there! The bestselling novel that began as Twilight erotic fan fiction is becoming a popular source for offbeat baby names:

The list for this year’s most popular baby names is out and it looks like parents found inspiration from trendy sources that range from technology to "Fifty Shades of Grey."

Holding on to the number one spot for several years now is Sophia and Aiden, which was no surprise to Linda Murray, global editor-in-chief of BabyCenter.  What she didn’t expect were names from a certain libido-enhancing bestseller.

“Earlier this year, we heard moms telling us [Fifty Shades of Grey] is an aphrodisiac and helping them get pregnant,” Murray told NBC's "Today" [...]

Scientific and gadgetry names also did well this year:

It was a big year for space and technology-inspired names. Boys got names like Mars, while girls got Luna, Stella and Skye and Heaven. Apple rose 15 percent and Siri went up five percent for girls. Boys with the name Mac went up 12 percent, according to BabyCenter.com.
