New York Destination Baby Names

Destination names are the hottest new baby name trend, with celebrities like Reese Witherspoon (and her son Tennessee) and Girls star Jemima Kirke (and her son Memphis) getting in on the fun.

According to the Social Security Administration, Brooklyn is given more to girls than boys, however, this name is perfect for both sexes.

There is also the name Apple (such as The Big Apple) — however, Gwyneth Paltrow has nabbed that distinctive name for her daughter.
