The Twilight phenomenon is impressive! So much so that the first names of the different actors have made a leap forward in the first names of births! There Social Security Administration The United States released its annual report on the most popular first names last Friday and found that Stephenie Meyer's Twilight saga played a significant role in this trend.

This is proof of the enormous influence the Twilight saga has on American society and everyday life.
