If in 5 years, there will be a lot of Serenas and Blairs, I will be SOOO happy.

I've realized that - after they named their baby Emma, the name EXPLODED! At least every other baby girl I've known of who was born since then's been named Emma.
There will probably be a shitload of Edwards and Bellas in 5-10 years, and probably quite a few Alices, Jaspers, Rosalies and Emmetts, too.

Last names are usually on Jerseys.
People on sports teams call each other by their last names during the game sometimes. Neither forename nor surname can be ruled out.

What films, books, tv shows, etc. are these names from?

Those are already here.
My son is 2, and his pre-school class, Sunday School class, and our neighborhood are all loaded with kids named Bella, Belle, and Isabella. We also have several friends who have named their kids some variation of this.
My husband and I stuck to very traditional names for our children that can not be limited to one era (I have such a 1970s name that it makes me want to hurl) and could never be considered trendy. The names will also look very nice on the top of a resume or on a med school application.

All those other names are from Twilight, too.
Edward's "brothers and sisters"

Farrah or Tennille? 
I still don't think Emma is anything compared to the Jenny/Jennifer boom from Love Story. Anyone who went to college in the 80s (and had to refer to Jen M, Jen G etc) will know exactly what I'm talking about.

Forgive me for not reading this entire thread, and I apologize if these have already been mentioned...
But ANY name that rhymes with "Aiden" is a no-no for me. And my best friend Kate has decided on Braden if she has a boy (she's due in December), which is the most prevalent of all the Aiden-rhymes!
During my six-month stint as a daycare teacher, I met children named:
Braden/Braiden/Brayden/Braedyn (that one was a girl, whose parents have Welsh ancestry, so I can forgive the "unique" spelling)
Aiden
Hayden
Caden
Jayden
Evan
Ethan
Graycen
Braylen (REALLY?!)
Logan
Jackson
Jaxon
Tiernan
There were many others that ended with "an" or "en" or "in." Seriously, what is it with WASPs and those names?
Then again, my daughter is named Meredith. Although she was the only Meredith at the school she went to/I worked at, which I found comforting, I do have my suspicions that it might become an "it" name in the coming years.

In most cases yes, but in this league that my kids play in, they put their first names on the jerseys. This group too was in the "Under 12" division but all of the kids on my son's team atleast were in elementary school with only one being in 6th grade.

Pardon me if I've already mentioned how much I hate the name Austin. Every one I've taught has been a holy terror!

got one for you
I have a friend who is a teacher and was tutoring an 8th grader while she was on (ahem) maternity leave....anywhoo she named her darling daughter:
Diamond Blaze  ...
Now here I thought Chris Rock had it good when he said his main job is to keep his daughter off the pole. With that name, you just insured her top billing on the marquis...Sad really sad.
FAIL!

*raises hand*
Allllll through elementary school. It was still like that when I went to college in the 90s. In fact, the first friend I made the day I moved in was my next-door neighbor, Amy. We sat together at convocation, and when they were reading all the "fun facts" about our class, they got to the most popular male and female names. Guess what the two most popular female names were...

Speaking of "the pole" I have a child in my purview named "Sparkle." Guaranteed stripper!
Sorry if any of you is named Sparkle.

A friend of mine's mom is a special education teacher in an elementary school, so I've spent some time talking with her, etc.
One year, she had a girl on her roster named....SHITHEAD.
But, it was pronounced Shi-Tay-Ed. Spelled Shithead, though. Imagine that one the first day of school or as a substitute.
Never ever give your kid a name that is easily mistaken for profanity. It's just not nice.

Just like little "Roxy Kendra" in my god-daughter's dance class.

Our kids' high school had recent sister grads named Sparkle and Twinkle. Oddly, they were from India.
