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是一个专注于分析婴儿名字及流行文化的网站。日前，这个网站最新出炉了美国各州新生儿名单。从卡罗莱纳州北部到加利福尼亚州，美国全国范围的各州形成了一种始料未及的新生儿命名热潮。
No Top 10 Baby Names
往届婴儿姓名排行榜前十风光不再
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.
别再提诸如“艾登” 、“索菲亚” 这样的流行名字了。2014年新年，父母们不再因循传统，转而给孩子取一些非常规的名字。一个中午12:04出生在密西西比的男儿被取名为“安德斯” ，此外还有出生在爱荷华州的新生儿“纳什”、田纳西州的新生儿“海莉”。
Lots Of "Y's" And "En" Sounds
新生儿姓名多“Y's”和“En”读音
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.
拥有这样名字的新生儿有两个叫“布鲁克林”，一个出生在科罗拉多州，另一个（布鲁克林·简）出生在马里兰州；另外还有出生在俄勒冈州的“男森，出生在阿拉斯加州的蕾拉。其他包含“en”音（无"Y"音）的名字包括出生在阿拉巴马州的“Gwineth”，出生在华盛顿特区的“布兰登”，出生在爱达荷州的“德温”，出生在加利福尼亚北部的“卡梅伦”，出生在罗德岛的“沃森”，以及出生在俄亥俄州的“科尔宾” 。
Names Ending In Vowel Sounds
以元音结尾的姓名
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.
出生在内华达州的“达妮卡”，出生在佛蒙特州的“利瓦伊”，出生在堪萨斯州的“安娜”，出生在德克萨斯州的“艾拉”，出生在弗吉尼亚州西部的“赖莉”，以及出生在亚利桑那州的“薇薇安”，这些名字引发了读音“uh”或“ah”的受欢迎热潮。
Ethnic Origins
种族渊源
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” 出生在佛罗里达州，他们的名字源于希伯来民族。一个名叫“Shreya” 的新生儿出生在新泽西州，他的名字有印度渊源。
Unique Names And Spellings
独特的名字及拼写
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.
一个名叫“Jacktavious” 的新生儿出生在阿肯色州，同时一个名叫“McKenlee” 的新生儿出生在缅因州，“Dior” 出生在康涅狄格州。然而，新年的新生儿名字中最有趣的还是中午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.
比这些名字更有趣的是，在前50新生儿名单列表中只有一个名字出现重复。是这些新年的新生儿开启了长达一年的原创姓名热潮吗？让我们拭目以待。
Let's check out the list!
