We may all be enamoured with all things vampire since Twilight and True Blood hit our TV screens, but you may wish to get ready for baby carriers full of Jacobs and Bellas.According to the Social Security Administration in the US, Isabella and Jacob were the most popular names for boys and girls respectively for the whole of 2009.
Although Jacob had been in the top ten for a decade, it has undoubtedly had a resurgence thanks to the influence of Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series.
One name which has definitely been inspired by the book is Cullen, which made an appearance at 485th place.
What happens in the US usually makes its way across the pond, so don't be surprised if you hear mummies calling some unusual names in the park this year!
According to the Office for National Statistics, Jack is currently the most popular name for boys in the UK, while Olivia reigns supreme for girls in their baby carriers.
