Rey
SPOILER ALERT! As the kick-ass female protagonist of the new "Star Wars" film, Rey is now officially a household name. Not to mention, it sounds pretty cool! And despite the controversial lack of Rey toys out there, this is one name that's sure to gain traction in the years to come.
All Other 'Star Wars' Names
Think Poe, Finn … and perhaps for lovers of the Dark Side, a little Ren. Seriously, with the advent of at least three more movies coming out, these names are gaining major intergalactic name cred.
Bowie
Gender-neutral and rock 'n' roll—what's not to love? With the recent passing of musical genius David Bowie, we're sure a slew of parents will be inspired to add a little Ziggy Stardust to their lives with this iconic moniker.
Royal-Inspired Baby Names
Princess Charlotte and big brother George aren't the only royals in town. Think Nicolas, the bouncing baby boy of Princess Madeline of Sweden, or Gabriela and Jacques the twins born to Monaco's Princess Charlene and Prince Albert II. These timeless and regal names are sure to make a major comeback.
Netflix-Inspired Names
It's now the norm to binge-watch our TV shows thanks to companies like Netflix and Hulu, so expect a slew of popular TV-inspired names to follow like Olivia from "Scandal"; Lyon from "Empire"; Elliot, the lead in "Mr. Robot"; or perhaps even the comeback of Jessica from Netflix's hit original series "Jessica Jones."
Out of This World Names
Sure, we all may know a Summer or Winter from our youth, but millennial parents are looking beyond the seasons to names like Nova, Phoenix and Luna. Model Alessandra Ambrosio gifted her son with the moniker Noah Phoenix.
Boy Names as Girl Names
Thanks to a slew of celebs naming their little girls traditional boy names (we're looking at your Blake and Ryan, and Mila and Ashton), expect more people to follow suit. Traditionally male names like Ryan, Andy, Sawyer and West just may pleasantly surprise you as a name for a gorgeous little girl.
Even More Vintage Baby Names
Think little Gertrude, Beatrice, Alfred and Henry. (And yes, that picture of Henry Cavill is just for your viewing pleasure.) As they say, what's old is always new again and this is a baby-name trend that's not going anywhere anytime soon.
