The most popular American baby names of 2007 are in! The usual suspects Emily and Jacob came out on top for a second year, but the biggest movers are a little more interesting. These hot new names all point to continued celebrity obsession.

Before last year Miley didn’t even make the list. Now thanks to the popularity of Hannah Montana and its star Miley Cyrus, the name’s at number 278, making it the most popular new name.

It’s common for people to name their babies after their favorite stars, but a little more unusual for a celebrity baby name to become popular. That’s exactly what’s happened with Gwen Stefani’s son Kingston though: the name is the second biggest mover on the list! The Baby Name Wizard says Kingston’s appeal is threefold: “a place name, ending in the uber-popular letter n, with the ultimate power nickname of King.”

Mylee is the third hottest mover on the baby name list. Mylie is at number 24. Are we noticing a trend?

Jordin takes the number four spot, propelled by the success of American Idol winner Jordin Sparks. While Jordin’s sunny nature obviously has something to do with it, there’s a little more to it. Jordin’s unique spelling of Jordan gave parents a feminine version of this unisex name. In fact, Jordan with an a was less popular this year, while more parents of boys opted for this spelling.

Number five on the list is another name made popular through the power of reality TV: Jaslene. Jaslene Gonzalez was the first Peurto Rican beauty to take out the America’s Next Top Model crown, and she inspired many namesakes in the process.

Miley, Kingston, and Jordin all seem to have a classic appeal to them despite their recent popularity. But I can’t help thinking that Jaslene may not sound like such a good idea when those babies grow up! What do you think?
