website Listophile has conducted a study into the latest baby naming trends from the music
industry. More than 3 million instances of baby names were analyzed
to reveal the pop stars, musicians, and bands who are inspiring our
babies' names.
In today's
never-ending quest for new and creative baby names, the study suggests
significant numbers of parents are turning to the world of music for
inspiration.
Musical names
sound iconic, and for music lovers, they are the perfect channel of
self-expression. Music - and names - evoke emotions and feelings. They hold
sentimental value - and both allow us to express our individuality. The study
also suggests that parents are using music-inspired baby names to signify
their child's uniqueness and non-conformism.

Listophile analyzed the latest official data from the SSA to find the most
