Hottest baby name trends of 2013 www.valentinohandbagssale.com

From Miley Cyrus to Walter White, popular culture didn't offer many positive role models this year. Still, new parents found inspiration for their babies' names everywhere, from funny guys on latenight TV to presidents of long ago, from the downhome Duck Dynasty clan to a little prince born across the pond. To find out what ruled and what drooled on America's 2013 birth certificates, read on.

Breaking Bad babiesEveryone's favorite drugdealing drama came to a violent, riveting end this year, so it would be no surprise if Breaking Bad had an effect on parents' babynaming choices. Still, there were few characters to root for, much less name a beautiful baby after. Walter? No, thanks the scienceteacherturnedmethmaker's moniker fell 55 spots, or 12 percent, in our baby name rankings. (It's number 520 on our list of popular boys' names.) The names Skyler, Jesse, Hank, Todd, Holly, and Saul also dropped on our lists.

Interestingly, two characters' names saw a significant jump: Mike (up 20 percent) and Marie (up 21 percent). Mike was a killer, but at least he was an ethical, honorable man, and Marie despite her bossiness and sticky fingers was a loving wife and sister. In the morally flawed universe of the show, they were good guys and that may have been enough to inspire some baby Mikes and Maries to be named in 2013. The A reality show features the closeknit Robertson family of West Monroe, Louisiana, selfmade millionaires who run a duckhunting supply company the Duck Commander. With their long beards and selfproclaimed hillbilly ways, these guys are unlikely stars. Still, their downhome high jinks proved highly watchable: The show broke ratings records this year to become the mostwatched nonfiction series in cable history.

Looks like the Robertsons made a big splash in baby names, too. Korie she's the stunning mom of five and Duck Commander office manager rose a whopping 89 percent, or 13,262 spots, in our baby name rankings. Her husband, frazzled duckcalling CEO Willie, saw his name jump 4 percent. Jase (Jason), Willie's laidback older brother, jumped 8 spots on our list.

Family patriarch Phil's name soared 32 percent, or 860 spots, on our boys' list. Who can forget his memorable advice on choosing a wife (homely is good, as long as she can cook and carries her Bible) or his frogskinning demonstration? The name of his wacky brother Silas (Uncle Si) jumped up the boys' list to 112. Also on the rise are the names of several of the Robertson grandchildren Mia, Sadie, Reed, and John.

Girls in diapersThe HBO series Girls a grittier Sex and the City for millennials is on fire, and so are the names of several of the show's leading ladies. Uptight Marnie has had her share of humiliating moments, but plenty of expecting parents love her name Marnie is up 62 percent, or 3,286 spots, on our girls' list. Same goes for Shoshanna, the sweet but neurotic friend played by actress Zosia Mamet. The name Shoshanna rose 67 percent (when spelled with one "n"), and Zosia climbed 46 percent. The name Hannah (Dunham's character on the show) dropped 10 percent, however. The fictionalized version of Dunham is an emotional train wreck and has been widely mocked for her overthetop exhibitionism, which may explain her name's lack of popularity.

Other Girls names on the wane are Jessa the wildatheart Brit with easy breezy sexuality and the name of the actress who plays her, Jemima (Kirke). Jessa slumped 11 percent on our girls' list, while Jemima dropped 5 percent. Looks like new parents don't see her as a good role model for their baby girls.

All hail GeorgeThe royal baby arrived in July to proud parents Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, and he's already had an impact on parents' naming choices. The name George climbed 10 percent for boys and in a nontraditional twist it's up 37 percent for baby girls! on the name for girls and boys, including Georgia, Georgina, and Giorgio, also rose on our baby name lists. Interestingly, George fell out of the top 10 this year on the BabyCentre United Kingdom baby names list.
