Apparently 'Bridgerton' And 'The Gilded Age' Are Influencing Baby Names

Huff Post  

Netflix From Dutton to Khaleesi, the influence of popular shows like “Yellowstone” and “Game of Thrones” on the baby naming landscape has been well documented. HBO’s “The Gilded Age” features Carrie Coon as a shrewd social climber named Bertha ― a name that has notably risen 700 places in 2024. A new batch of fantasy epics are inspiring parents, with names like Bryce and Quinlan from Sarah J. Maas’ popular “Crescent City” book series rising up the rankings. “Seeing Caitlin Clark’s popularity translate into real-world registrations for newborns is exciting since the name has been on a decline since the 2000s,” BabyCenter’s baby name trends specialist Rebekah Wahlberg told HuffPost. “Being in the know about what’s trending in baby names is so important, whether you’re looking to embrace the trends or avoid them,” Wahlberg said.
