Another bad
trend in a slew of bad trends plaguing the country. Bible names are the best!
Biblical
names are out and pop culture is in for America's newborns - if this year's
list of most popular baby names are anything to go by.
The once
hearty trend of parents naming their babies after Biblical scripture has shown
a steady decline in recent years according to an annual baby name report by BabyCenter.com.
What can be
gathered in supplement shows a perhaps surprising uptick in inspiration from
pop culture such as erotic novel Fifty Shades of Grey, TV show Downton Abbey
and even Apple electronics.
Among names
taken from the Bible for 2012 there were just three boys' names among the list
of top 10 - Ethan, Noah and Jacob - while none made the top 10 list for girls.
That's a
stark contrast from 12 years ago when Biblical names dominated the top 10 list,
in 2000 it being: Michael, Jacob, Matthew, Joseph, Joshua, and
Andrew.
For girls in
2000 it was Hannah, Sarah and Elizabeth.
