‘Isabella’ and ‘Jacob’ are topping the list of baby names for 2009. Granted, ‘Jacob’ has been #1 for 11 years now, and Isabella has been in the top ten since 2004, but there’s no way I’m not pointing fingers at Twilight: How else can one explain ‘Cullen’ hopping 297 spots?
As for Star Wars, Lucas is rising at #39, Luke is #48, Owen #49 and Ben is #653; On the girls list, Mara is #758 and Leia is #822. Han, Anakin, Shmi, Padme, Jaina and Jacen haven’t cracked the top 1000. Do your own search at SSA.gov.

It was inevitable.
However, I’m pleased to see the improvements in some Star Wars name rankings!

Wow. I have a cousin called Anakin. Does that count?
