Each year, the list reveals the effect of pop-culture on naming trends. This year\u2019s winners for biggest jump in popularity in the Top 1,000 are Jayceon and Daleyza.

The show follows the life of Jayceon \u201cThe Game\u201d Taylor, as a rapper and father of three. The show premiered in late 2012 and obviously had its effect on naming trends throughout 2013.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the girls\u2019 side, Daleyza, may have been influenced by a popular Spanish-language cable TV series, \u201cLarrymania,\u201d which airs on mun2. Daleyza is the young daughter of Larry Hernandez, an American regional Mexican singer and reality TV star. The name increased in popularity by more than 3,000 spots, so the show undoubtedly had an influence. \u00a0<\/p>\n
