Charlotte
The year's most heralded baby did not emerge from a Kardashian. Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, fourth in line to the British throne, was first in line to many of our hearts. Charlottes have always enjoyed positive associations, from the heroic spider who saved Wilbur the pig to the classiest of the "Sex and The City" girls. Now that Prince George's little sis is a Charlotte too, it's no wonder her name has rocketed to the top of Nameberry's most popular list.
Wolfe
Kimora Lee Simmons gave her fourth child a name as fierce as she is when she decided to call him Wolfe. Kimora's choice is on-trend, with many celebrities opting for animal-themed names lately. But by adding that "e" on the end, it also becomes a surname-as-first-name, and makes us think of Tom Wolfe, bestselling author of "Bonfire of the Vanities."
Edie
When stylish Keira Knightley chose the name Edie for her daughter, she may have been inspired by 1960s fashion icon and Andy Warhol muse Edie Sedgwick. Edie is a diminuitive of Edith, which coincidentally is the name Cate Blanchett chose for her daughter. It seems Edith, like other former old-lady names Hazel and Pearl, is poised for a comeback.
Isaiah
For their firstborn son, Carrie Underwood and husband Mike Fisher chose Isaiah, a biblical name that dates back to the Old Testament. The Hebrew word means "God is salvation," or "God is generous," which certainly seems true in the case of this beautiful baby boy.
Pauline
In a touching tribute to his fallen costar Paul Walker, Vin Diesel and Paloma Jimenez named their third child Pauline, the feminine version of Paul. "It felt like, you know, a way to keep his memory a part of my family and a part of my world," Diesel told "Today." We think it's a sweet old-fashioned name that's yet to hit the super popular train.
Atticus
At the top of the Nameberry list for boys this year is Atticus. The name dates back to ancient Rome, but most people associate it with Atticus Finch, the kindly single father/lawyer from Harper Lee's classic novel "To Kill a Mockingbird." The current spike in Atticus' popularity has coincided with the release of Lee's controversial sequel "Go Set a Watchman," which Amazon said was their most pre-ordered book of all time.
Poppy
This floral moniker was plucked by two famous families this year: Oprah's design guru Nate Berkus decided to call his daughter Poppy when the name came to husband Jeremiah Brent in a dream. Jenna Bush Hager picked Poppy for her second daughter as a homage to her grandfather, President George Herbert Walker "Poppy" Bush.
Hutton
The newborn son of Beverley Mitchell ("7th Heaven") may be the only Hutton in his preschool class, but something tells us his name will catch on fast. Similar to other popular last-names-as-first-names like Hudson or Grayson, Hutton has the potential to be a new classic.
Sailor
There's a rule somewhere that says rock royalty can't give their kids ordinary names like Mary or John, so it was no surprise that actress Liv Tyler, daughter of Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, went for something a bit more unusual for her son. Sailor is considered unisex (Christie Brinkley has a daughter named Sailor) and was also the name of the Nicolas Cage character in the cult David Lynch movie film "Wild at Heart."
Silas
A name that was once synonymous with dry required reading (George Eliot's "Silas Marner") is now destined to be cool, thanks to Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, who named their son Silas Randall. Only time will tell if young Silas will be a performer like his parents, but his handsomeness seems guaranteed.
