The huge success of iPhone and iPad seem to be behind the new trend - BabyCenter describes the youngsters as 'iBabies'.
BabyCenter網(wǎng)站將這個現(xiàn)象取名為”iBabies”,這與蘋果iPhone手機與平板電腦iPad的巨大成功密不可分。

"The smart phone may just be the best parenting tool since diapers, and some moms and dads are paying homage to industry leader Apple in their choice of baby names," says Linda Murray, the site's global editor in chief.
“智能手機可能是即尿布之后最好的育兒工具,一些爸爸媽媽則是以給孩子取名的方式向這類產(chǎn)業(yè)的領導者蘋果公司致敬。”網(wǎng)站的主編琳達-莫雷這樣解釋道。

"The moniker Apple, though still an unusual choice, rose 15% for girls, vaulting a whopping 585 spots."
“盡管以Apple作名字的情況還是比較少見,但是在女孩名字中比例依然上升了15%,躍升了585位。”

"For boys, the name Mac jumped 12%. And parents sure like the sound of Siri: The company's voice-enabled personal assistant climbed 5% on the list of girl names."

Space-themed baby names - perhaps inspired by the publicity around NASA's Mars Curiosity Rover - also rose in popularity.
以太空名詞為名的寶寶姓名使用率也在上升,這也許是受到NASA火星探測器“好奇號”的影響。

"It seems space was a huge naming inspiration for parents this year: Sky, Star, Luna, Skylar, Heaven, Stella, and Mars all flew higher than last year. BabyCenter moms aren’t alone; celebrities like Uma Thurman – who named her daughter Luna – are looking to the sky as well," says Murray.
莫雷女士表示:“太空名詞在今年對家長來說也是靈感的源泉:Sky、Star、Luna、Skylar、Heaven、Stella還有Mars都較去年有所上升。這并不是BabyCenter網(wǎng)站上的媽媽們特有的喜好,影視明星烏瑪-瑟曼同樣從太空尋找靈感,為她的女兒取名為Luna。”
