We're not joking.

Recent baby name trends have included naming kids after healthy foods and Instagram filters. Now you can add fashion labels to the list.

From 2010 to 2014, for instance, nearly 5,000 babies of both genders were named Armani, after Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani, whose high-end label became a worldwide brand.

While this new baby name trend might seem odd, it’s not hard to see the appeal of these fashion label-inspired names. These monikers are recognizable, internationally revered and, in some cases, incredibly unique (hello, Nike!).

The trend has even caught the attention of new mom Coco Austin, who welcomed a daughter with Ice-T last year and named her Chanel Nicole.

As a result of this rising trend, Vocativ looked at U.S. Social Security data from 2014 to find the most popular fashion label-inspired baby names among parents. Flip through the slideshow below to find out if your favourite brand made the list.
