In part 1 of the Pop culture baby name game, the aim was to predict which pop culture-inspired names would debut on the SSA’s 2011 “long list.”
We got a handful right:
- Bieber – nope
- Cersei – nope
- Daenerys – nope
- Eames – yes, 5 baby boys. (Thanks, Julie!)
- Lannister – nope
- Gaga – nope
- Jimmer – yes, 9 baby boys. (Thanks, Grace!)
- Katniss – nope (Surprisingly! Just wait for 2012…)
- Kreayshawn – nope
- Lohan – nope
- Occupy – nope
- Potter – nope
- Skrillex – nope
- Taio – yes, 8 baby boys.
- Tebow – nope (Also surprised about this one.)
I had to bump many of the suggestions over to Pop Culture Baby Name Game #2, as they didn’t qualify for this game (i.e. they had debuted on the list pre-2011).
