Katniss, Django among most popular baby names so far this year

Forget about Jacob and Sophia. How about naming the newest member of your family Katniss or Django?

Those movie-influenced monikers are among the most popular baby names so far in 2013, according to online database Nameberry, which calculated the list based on the most viewed name pages on its site.

Imogen, which means beloved child, topped the choices for girls. Asher, a Biblical name that means fortunate or happy, was big for boys.

You may remember Jacob and Sophia topped the Social Security Administration’s list of the most popular baby names in the U.S. last year. So why are they no-shows in this tally? Nameberry officials say that’s because their list suggests upcoming baby name trends.

I've seen more "Finns" than I do at a fish market. And they don't look Finnish or like a Finnegan at all, most of 'em!
