Celebrities are trendsetters in everything from fashion to fitness to travel. But they're also big influencers among parents, especially when it comes to baby names.

The Kardashians are a prime example of this. The famous family grew by three this year as Kim Kardashian and Kanye West welcomed their daughter Chicago, Khloe Kardashian and NBA star Tristan Thompson welcomed a daughter named True, and Kylie Jenner and rapper Travis Scott had their baby girl, Stormi.

The name of Jenner's daughter sparked a particularly big trend, as the moniker spiked 63 per cent this year, according to BabyCenter.

This name is full of charm and sounds like a very affectionate nickname for a loved one, which is why we are so drawn to it.

3. Sebastian
