Anyone remember this article in Parents or Parenting magazine?

A few months ago, I read a quick little snippet in either Parents or
Parenting magazine on 'hot' names for 2004. It was just a little box with
some names that they were predicting were going to be popular. I believe
it was probably an October/November/December issue. I remember that a
couple of the names were Oscar and Homer. Does anyone remember this and
know for sure which magazine it's in? I need it to show to someone.

Thanks,
Manda

Yes I get Parents but do not read Parenting, and I remember what you're
talking about so it must be Parents.

Awww..think the Iliad. Oscar might get to be popular because of the
increasing number of Hispanic people in the US.

Did you pick Jaden before or after you found it might be in the top 10? We
picked DS' name thinking no one was using that name. Ha! In the top ten
for that year [and that year only!]

We first saw the name on the SSA top 100 names for 2002 (it was #45) so
we knew it was popular. Despite its popularity, I only ever found one
baby name book that had it as an entry. I initially didn't want a
'trendy' name, but I couldn't find any other name that DH liked even
remotely as much, and before long the name had grown on me enough that I
stopped looking for another name.

Actually, my son's name was on the list (Holden), but I've yet to ever
hear of anyone with the same name. The name has stayed pretty steady in
the 400s on the top 1000 baby names list from the SSA. I've been told that
there may be more Holdens soon because there is somebody on a soap opera
or something.
