"Recent data from BabyCenter shows just how strongly pop culture and the broader media landscape influence modern naming trends. This year, beloved TV show characters sent certain names soaring up the charts. For example, Helena (Severance) rose 50 spots, and Conrad (The Summer I Turned Pretty) is up 40 spots. Names from the medical drama The Pitt also gained traction: Samira climbed 276 spots, Heather is up 116 spots, and Cassie rose 12 spots."

Influence can work in reverse, with names like Justin and Blake falling after a high-profile legal dispute between actors. Paid naming consultants offer virtual services and tiered packages (commonly $85–$500) and use structured methods like the 'Naming Bebe Method' to deliver results in under three weeks.
