Our favorite baby name site, Nameberry.com, has come out with their list for what they think will be the most popular baby names in 2012. Once again, it’s always interesting to see how popular culture influences the next year’s most popular baby names. We can’t help but think that Seraphina (#2) is an ode to Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck’s daughter (who also have a Violet, #4). Could Isla (#5) be the adorable red-headed actress Isla Fisher? Is Adelaide (#7) a form of the popular singer’s name, Adele?
But then again…where are those boys names coming from? Tell us what you think in the comments section below!

This list is stupid, they are all mostly weird names. I feel sorry for the kids who get named from this list!

More unique sounding names than I've ever seen on one of these lists…Except now they won't sound unique anymore.

Who in their right mind would name their child Atticus? Ancient Greece called, they said they think Sparticus has a better chance at making that list than Atticus ever did!!

My mother's name is Lila…I thought of naming my baby after her if it's a girl.
