There has been an outbreak of odd, funny, and perhaps, awful baby names in 2012. We've heard about Jay-Z and Beyonce's Blue Ivy (their daughter, not a special edition bottle of Cristal). But this year, celebs aren't the only ones favoring unusual names. Parents are now drawing inspiration from everything, including Greek literature and Game of Thrones. Yes, GAME OF THRONES!
Some of the hottest baby names, courtesy of Nameberry, include: Arya (from Game of Thrones), Caia (the half-lycan, half-witch character from Samantha Young novels), Gatsby (from The Great Gatsby), Django (the main character in an upcoming Quentin Tarantino film), and Decimus (which means tenth in Greek and was made popular by The Hunger Games, in which many of the male characters have ancient Roman names).
Don't forget about the different names we've heard in the past, such as Chris Martin and Gweneth Paltrow's daughter Apple. We think she was named after the fruit and how sweet it is--not the computer. But we could be wrong.
What do you think SodaHeads? Are celebrities and their different inspirations inventing cool, new names or are parents just trying too hard to be unique? Let us know!

a few years ago, I met
an adorable little girl, and
her name really is Unique ;0 )
Yes it's true, Unique IS her name !
That said, some names are c.r.a.z.y ;p
But HEY, it's YOUR kid, so, whatEVER ~
Mum Dad this is Question
Caia- Alright, that's a bit weird but it's almost like a regular name
Decimus- Okay, but what do you say when he asks what happened to the other 9?
Merhabi- Truly the best name ever given to a child in all existence. ∞/10 Would name all of my children this regardless of insignificant things like genitalia.
now & then i hear a lot of different & freak names that i've never heard before :D
Even made-up names like "Moon Unit Zappa" are not unique. Right, Soleil Moon Frye?
I guarantee there's a girl out there somewhere named Propecia.
The names I like are unique, but not overly so (in my opinion)
My favorite names:
Luna (f)
Aylin (f)
Winter (f)
Guinevere (f)
Sorren (m)
Tobias (m)
