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!

If you hate your name so much, then change it. It is possible.
People are trying so hard to come up with unique names...to the point where uniqueness is no longer unique. Don't get me wrong, I love cool sounding names, but at least have a reason why you choose the names you do.
My name is Swaa(pronounced sway) & I have never met someone else with this name. I'm remembered more too.
I for one and completely tired of the name that have been worked to death like: John, Mary, Linda, Ann, Joseph, Judy, Gary, David, Jason, George, Steven, Brittany, Chelsea
Even if the child doesn't like the name, they can always go by something else or have it changed when they're older
I have a friend named La-a. You know how you pronounce it? La-dash-a. That's how. And guess what? That's her birth name, the name her parents gave her, the one that's on her birth certificate. The funny thing is that's not even a dash, it's a hyphen.
I have another friend named 95-South. Not even joking. Once again, that's the name on his birth certificate. He moved here from Compton, Cali so I assume it's a REALLY ghetto thing like La-a
