Twilight' inspiring more baby names than just Bella and Jacob

'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' - Kimberley French/Summit Ent.

It's been noted for a while that the name Bella topped pet name charts for 2009 and that it also joined Jacob atop the list of 2009's most popular baby names, but the Chicago Tribune has revealed that the Twilight series' impact on baby names extends much further than previously thought.
According to their report, 17 girls were named Renesmee in 2009 alone. [*Spoiler warning*] Renesmee, of course, is the name of Bella and Edward's baby in Breaking Dawn, and in the book it originates from both of the characters' mothers (Renee and Esme), so it is completely original to the story. Renesmee's middle name, Carlie, comes from Carlisle and Charlie, the characters' fathers.
"Carlisle, a name chosen for precisely zero U.S. boys in 2005," was given to twelve boys in 2009, the Chicago Tribune reports.
A few further statistics were revealed by the report, including the following numbers:

• 2005: 'Twilight' is published
  (Jacob and Emily are the top U.S. names)
  1,657 babies are named Bella
  751 babies are named Alice
  450 babies are named Jasper
  380 babies are named Emmett
  278 babies are named Cullen
• 2009: The 'Twilight' movie, 'New Moon,' is released
  (Jacob and Isabella are the top U.S. names)
  4,490 baby girls are named Bella
  1,251 girls are named Alice
  947 boys are named Emmett
  928 boys are named Jasper
  555 boys are named Cullen

As the Tribune notes, "It's difficult to pinpoint the precise degree of 'Twilight's' influence on the more than 4 million baby names chosen annually in the U.S., in part because [author Stephenie] Meyer chose names for her characters that were either already high on the hot list (Jacob), rising (Bella, Alice, Jasper, Emmett) or related to those that were," but still, looking at the raw data offered for the years 2005 and 2009, it seems there must be some significant correlation.
