Well no surprise to see Bentley at the top, thanks to the MTV show "Teen Mom". The "Twilight" effect also seems to be making a lasting impression, with both Kellan and Kellen rising a huge amount. Zaiden and Zayden seem to be the new "it" -aden names around, rising more than any other names that rhyme with it. "K" names also seem to be a popular trend these days, with 11 of these names starting with that letter - pretty impressive given there are 26 of them in the alphabet.

Are you surprised by any of these?
