“五年以前，我也许会说，给孩子取名最重要的因素是名字承载的含义，但现在，最重要的因素是名人。”Nameberry网站的帕梅拉对路透社说道。

True, Isabella, Sophia and Emma were the top names for girls last year, with Jacob, Ethan and Michael winning out among boy names, but names such as Pippa, Elula (the name actress Isla Fisher and actor Sacha Baron Cohen chose for their daughter), Mila (as in "Black Swan" actress Kunis) and Flynn (the name of Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr's son) are gaining steam.

的确，伊莎贝拉（Isabella），索菲亚（Sophia）和艾玛（Emma）是去年最受欢迎的女孩名字，而雅各布（Jacob），伊森（Ethan）和迈克尔（Michael）则是最受欢迎的男孩名字。但皮帕（Pippa）、艾露拉（Elula：女演员艾拉·菲舍尔和演员萨莎·拜伦·科恩给女儿取的名）、米拉（Mila：电影《黑天鹅》女星米拉·库妮丝的名字）和弗林（Flynn：奥兰多·布鲁姆和米兰达·可儿为儿子取的名）等名字现在越来越受欢迎。

"There is a culture of the celebrity baby," Satran tells Reuters. Satran tells the news service the number of searches for a baby name can help predict how popular that name will become.

“现在用名人孩子的名字取名已成为一股文化热潮，”帕梅拉对路透社说道。她告诉路透社，对宝宝名字的搜索能预测出该名字未来会有多火。

皮帕（Pippa）：无论是大家熟悉的皮帕还是更正式的菲利帕（Philippa）都是Nameberry上最火的名字，皮帕这个名字今年搜索排名上升到35位，而在2010年它甚至没排上前200名。凯特这一名字也上升了，但热度远没有皮帕高。

亚设（Asher）：这个从圣经故事里得来的发音柔软的名字挤下“历届冠军”亨利成为Nameberry上最受欢迎的男孩名字。

Everett: "The popularity of Everett, up 50 places on our most-searched list, was inspired by such stylish girls' choices as Eva and Evelyn."

埃弗雷特（Everett）：这个名字在搜索排名上上升了50位，它是由像伊娃（Eva）和伊芙琳（Evelyn）等时髦地女孩子名字改编而来的。

Hadley: "The success of the bestselling novel 'The Paris Wife' has catapulted the intriguing name of Hemingway's first wife, Hadley Richardson, 50 spots up our list this year over last."

哈德莉（Hadley）：畅销小说《巴黎妻子》的热卖使得海明威第一任妻子哈德莉·理察逊的名字迅速火起来，该名字今年比去年上升了50位。

米拉（Mila）：该名字是漂亮的年轻女星米拉·库妮丝的名字，另外，它还和其它几个流行名字很相像，如米亚（Mia），玛雅（Maya）和莱拉（Lila）。

艾达（Ada），阿黛拉（Adele），艾德琳（Adeline）和阿德莱德（Adelaide）：这是一系列以Ad开头的古典名字，似乎今年依然很流行。

Archer: "Archer, as in Henry James' 'Portrait of a Lady' and Edith Wharton's 'Age of Innocence,' is perfect: It's unusual, classic yet contemporary-feeling, and there's no danger of anyone actually having read the books."

阿彻（Archer）：作为亨利·詹姆斯作品《贵妇的画像》和伊迪丝·华顿作品《纯真年代》的人物名字，它简直太完美了！它与众不同、古典端庄但又不失现代感。而且也不至于每个人都看过小说（而将此名字与原著人物对比）。

Luna: "The real hottie launched by the Beckham name quest was otherworldly Luna, the name rumored to be their girls' pick for most of Posh's pregnancy."

露娜（Luna）：这个可人儿名字谣传是贝克汉姆为女儿取的名字。

So, don't be surprised if the kindergarten class of 2016 is full of Pippas, Milas, Elulas and Flynns. Kinda sounds like a new sort of British invasion, now, doesn't it?

所以到了2016年别惊讶整个幼儿园都充斥着叫皮帕、米拉、艾露拉和弗林的学生。这听起来有几分不列颠（文化）新侵袭的感觉，不是吗？
