Just in time for Mother’s Day, the Social Security Administration released their list of top popular baby names for 2010.

With the growing trend of reality TV, pop culture and movies, new parents are finding inspiration in interesting places, including the MTV reality series“Teen Mom”, the“Twilight” series and even Angelina Jolie’s kids.

So what names made it to the top of the list, drum roll please……

Isabella and Jacob tops the baby names list.

The SSA also tracks which names are trending — that is, which have the biggest jumps in popularity. While MTV’s “Teen Mom” reality series might be viewed as a cautionary tale by some, others are clearly finding inspiration — at least for names.The two names that saw the biggest increases in popularity are Maci and Bentley. Maci Bookout and her baby son, Bentley, were featured on “Teen Mom.”

The second-biggest trending boys’ name is Kellan — actor Kellan Lutz portrays Emmett Cullen in the popular series of movies based on the “Twilight” books, which inspired their own naming trend last year.

Rounding out the top trendy boys’ names is Knox, one of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s toddler twins.

With older brother, Prince William tying the knot to Kate Middleton on April 29, Prince Harry,26, has become the next eligible bachelor in a blink of a eye. Pairing him with Kate’s younger sister, Pippa, 27, has caused a media frenzy in hopes that the two will soon hook up.  But before we begin the love match, Pippa has to stand in line.

Prince Harry is too cute for words…and he may just like older women..so with the help from a computer imaging software – Make Me Babies! I decided to see what our babies would look like if Prince Harry and I (yes, a girl can dream) would ever hook up (shhh, don’t tell my husband).

Using pictures of Prince Harry and I and the help of Make Me Babies!, a site that analyzes facial structure to predict what babies would look like, I was able to find accurate simulations.

What do you think about my little new baby Prince Harry, Jr. ?

Fairytale Wedding – Check, Beautiful Wedding Dress – Check, Handsome Prince – Check, Baby  – hmmmm

Kate and William have only been married for a couple of days now and the royal baby bump watch is way underway….

Like most newlyweds, questions from your friends and family as to when you will begin to have babies can be stressful, so you can only imagine how Prince William, 28 and Kate Middleton, 29 must be feeling to know that their kids could someday become royalty!

Just thinking about having babies can be an exciting and sometimes daunting task…for some women conceiving can be as easy as tossing out their contraception.  For others, reaching the goal of fertilization becomes a nightly chore, from ovulation kits to specific sexual positions.

“Reproductive function starts to decline from about age 35, although some studies show earlier decline…but it’s nothing they need to get excited about. Let them enjoy themselves for a few minutes and when it happens, it happens.” says fertility expert.

We can’t wait to see some beautiful royal babies soon!
