Name Candy, a website devoted to analyzing baby names and pop culture, has compiled a list of the first reported babies born this year by state. From North Carolina to California and everywhere in between, it seems parents across the country have started baby naming trends we didn't even see coming.
Name Candy是一個專注于分析嬰兒名字及流行文化的網站。日前，這個網站最新出爐了美國各州新生兒名單。從卡羅萊納州北部到加利福尼亞州，美國全國范圍的各州形成了一種始料未及的新生兒命名熱潮。
No Top 10 Baby Names
往屆嬰兒姓名排行榜前十風光不再
Forget popular names like Aiden and Sophia. This New Year's, parents stepped away from tradition and gave their children names from off the beaten path. A Mississippi baby born at 12:04 a.m. was named Anders, a baby Nash was born in Iowa and a Harley in Tennessee.
別再提諸如“艾登” 、“索菲亞” 這樣的流行名字了。2014年新年，父母們不再因循傳統，轉而給孩子取一些非常規的名字。一個中午12:04出生在密西西比的男兒被取名為“安德斯” ，此外還有出生在愛荷華州的新生兒“納什”、田納西州的新生兒“海莉”。
These included two baby Brooklyns, one in Colorado and one in Maryland (Brooklyn Jane), Naythyn in Oregon, and a Layla in Alaska. Other names with the "en" sound (sans "Y") included Gwineth in Alabama, Brandon in Washington D.C., Devin in Idaho, Cameron in North Carolina, Watson in Rhode Island and Korbin in Ohio.
擁有這樣名字的新生兒有兩個叫“布魯克林”，一個出生在科羅拉多州，另一個（布魯克林·簡）出生在馬里蘭州；另外還有出生在俄勒岡州的“男森，出生在阿拉斯加州的蕾拉。其他包含“en”音（無"Y"音）的名字包括出生在阿拉巴馬州的“Gwineth”，出生在華盛頓特區的“布蘭登”，出生在愛達荷州的“德溫”，出生在加利福尼亞北部的“卡梅倫”，出生在羅德島的“沃森”，以及出生在俄亥俄州的“科爾賓” 。
Danika in Nevada, Levi in Vermont, Anna in Kansas, Ella in Texas, Rylee in West Virginia, and Vivianna in Arizona have started an "uh" or "ah" sounding trend with their names.
出生在內華達州的“達妮卡”，出生在佛蒙特州的“利瓦伊”，出生在堪薩斯州的“安娜”，出生在德克薩斯州的“艾拉”，出生在弗吉尼亞州西部的“賴莉”，以及出生在亞利桑那州的“薇薇安”，這些名字引發了讀音“uh”或“ah”的受歡迎熱潮。
Ethnic Origins
種族淵源
Malakia and brother Nickali were born in Florida, both with names rooted in Hebrew. A Shreya -- which has Indian roots -- was born in New Jersey.
“Malakia” 和哥哥“Nickali” 出生在佛羅里達州，他們的名字源于希伯來民族。一個名叫“Shreya” 的新生兒出生在新澤西州，他的名字有印度淵源。
A Jacktavious was among the first babies born in Arkansas along with McKenlee in Maine and Dior in Connecticut. But the most interesting of the New Year's baby names is Prantison born in Hawaii at 12:47 a.m.
一個名叫“Jacktavious” 的新生兒出生在阿肯色州，同時一個名叫“McKenlee” 的新生兒出生在緬因州，“Dior” 出生在康涅狄格州。然而，新年的新生兒名字中最有趣的還是中午12:47出生在夏威夷的“Prantison”。
Even more interesting than these names is the fact that only one name repeats on the full list of 50. Could these New Year's babies have started a year-long trend of more original naming habits? We guess we'll have to wait and see.
比這些名字更有趣的是，在前50新生兒名單列表中只有一個名字出現重復。是這些新年的新生兒開啟了長達一年的原創姓名熱潮嗎？讓我們拭目以待。
