Hispanic Is Caliente
Hispanic names are more and more popular, and not only with the Latino parents. With the rise in the Latino community in the United States, an increasing number of white couples are giving their children Hispanic names. The main reason seems to be the expectation that their children will assimilate more easily in the society, where Latino culture might prevail later on in their lives. They might not appear among the first 10 most popular names in the U.S., but there's no doubt their popularity will expand within the next decade.
Names such as Lola, Maria, Carmen, Sierra, Ernesto, Diego, Santos, Miguel, or Luis are likely to soar.
Return to the Bible
Who wouldn't like to go back to old traditions at some point? After a few years of experimenting, parents are restoring old customs to regain the essence of religious values -- welcome Isaac and Naomi! Biblical names are nothing new under the sun. Names like Jacob, Michael, and Noah have been scoring high in the popularity ranks for years, but the surge of other, previously less frequent Biblical names is about to hit in 2014.
Look out for Caleb, Levi, Luke, Isaiah, Naomi, Shiloh, or Judith.
Mythological Names
The trend of going back to Biblical names is complemented by parents going even further in history, choosing names from Ancient Mythology. One of the greatest perks of these names is the fact that despite being ancient, they have that mystique and exotic uniqueness parents often seek.
For example: Luna, Camilla, Gaia, Tristan, Damon, or Thor.
