Tori Spelling a baby name trend setter?

MrsSutton0523 · October 2011

I am starting to think that everytime Tori Spelling picks a name for one of her babies out of a sudden everyone starts naming their babies the same names

2007 Liam was born and you can't go anywhere and not find a Liam

2008 Stella came along and again Stellas everywhere

2011 Hattie arrived and I already heard 2 girls talking about naming their baby girls Hattie

Coincidence? I am starting to think NOT

While I haven't heard of anyone recently talking about the name Hattie, I do know little children named Liam & Stella and I have to say I LOVE both names! Tori Spelling is definitely a good baby namer!

I think most celebrities set off a trend. I actually don't like any of her kids' names.

My mom has a coworker names Hattie who is in her mid-50s. She's the only one that I've ever head of with this name, and I've always just assumed it's short for something else.

In the community I live in I know no Liams (though it is on our name list for this LO), no Stellas and only one Hattie that is 10.. so named before that.

Liam in the only name of hers that I care for at all. Stella & Hattie especially clash in my opinion.

There may be plenty of these names out here, thank goodness they're not here though!

There is also a character named Hattie in the tv show Parenthood.

I like all three names. I wouldn't use them, but I like them and can see why others would use them.

She does pick decent names, IMO . . . which is not necessarily what I would have expected from her.

ETA: Though I would prefer Hattie as short for Harriet or something else.

I think Liam and Stella were becoming popular before she used them. So she is following trends, not setting them IMO.

The names are good, but I agree with pp that Hattie seems like it could be short for something. I am not crazy about it.

I think she kind of goes with times which is why her names are maybe trendy to some. I do not like Hattie at all. Stella to me is too "old", plus my friend's cat's name. But I do like Liam a lot. However I always think Liam Neeson.

This exactly. Liam and Stella were already popular when she used them. Now, if Hattie takes off, then I might say she's a trendsetter. Hattie is one old lady name I don't care for.
