The list is obviously incorrect. It is missing the greatest name, EVER.
I hear that a surprisingly popular name for babies born in the last few years is "Herman Cain Jr."
When the time comes for me to adopt a child, I shall call her...
Vera.
I will be sorely disappointed if nobody gets the joke.
You'll be naming her after Jayne's favorite gun? ;)When the time comes for me to adopt a child, I shall call her...

Yes, and I don't even like Firefly.
Why? The TV Tropes page was awesome.
In all seriousness, I'd probably go with Elizabeth or Gwendolyn, or maybe Samantha or Katrina.
My daughter was born 30 days ago; I named her Joline and everyone comments its an excellent choice.

Although I agree that celebrities are one of the major go-to places for baby names, there are a number of different trends out there, and ultimately, one of the biggest is simply attempting to be unique.
A lot of the discussions around individual names really don't tie back to politicians and the like (nice Herman Cain joke), but to all the names being spoken for whatever reason.
Oh, and speaking about Herman Cain, here's a few interesting notes on the Republican Presidential candidates' names.
(I've mentioned that baby names are a hobby of mine, before, I believe... They really are.)
ETA: Congrats on Joline, Valegrim!

Congrats. I can't wait to get my own. They'll almost certainly be adopted, (dual whammy of being transgendered and homosexual), but that doesn't really make a difference. As long as I get to be a parent someday, everything's good.
You can always name a baby after my cousin, Sock. I'm pretty sure he's been sneaking around here.
