In the past people used to name their children
after saints and religious figures. Today, the latest
trend in baby names takes pop-culture to a new
level, naming children after car models (Bentley,
Celica, Infiniti...), hair dye (L'Oreal), popular
perfumes (Chanel, Dior..., food (Del Monte) and
even after canned pinnes and a camera (Canon).
Designer firms and types of clothing are also
well represented (Armani, Denim, Tommy from
Tommy Hilfiger, Chanel, Fendi...).
In the year 2000 brand names have risen in popularity
resulting in - Chanel (269 girls), Timberland (6 boys),
Porsche (24 girls) and Armani (273 boys and 298 girls).
Perfumes and automobiles seems to be the most common.
Chanel is fairly popular, Camry, Evian (bottled water),
Fanta (soft drinks), Chardonnay (wine) also turns up
quite regularly.
Brand names may be popular because of a couple of
reasons; they can be echoes of other known names -
Chanel is similar to Chantal... or aspiration of parents for
some consumer products that they will likely never be able
to afford or a growing desire on the part of the parents
to mark their children out as different or associate them with
money and exclusivity (Rolls-Royce, Porsche...) which
reflects the material hopes.
