13.Parents seem to be looking in an unusual place for inspiration for baby names this year-their smartphones and iPads.
The number of babies named after Apple products has soared-Apple,Siri and Mac have all risen in popularity as baby names this year,according to parenting advice site BabyCenter's annual report.
Siri-the name of the app (計算機(jī)應(yīng)用程序) on iPhones-has risen by 5% on the list of girl names in popularity,for parents surely like the pronunciation of it,and the name Apple,though still an unusual choice,has risen by 15% for girls,which has climbed 585places up BabyCenter's chart this year.Meanwhile,for boys,the name Mac has jumped 12%.
The huge success of iPhone and iPad seems to be behind the new trend-BabyCenter describes the youngsters as'iBabies',"The smart phones may just be the best parenting tool since diapers (紙尿褲) and some parents are showing their respect to industry leader Apple in their choice of baby names,"says Linda Murray,the site's global editor in chief.
Space-themed baby names also rose in popularity,lb is perhaps inspired by the publicity around NASA's Mars Curiosity Rover."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,"says Miller.
