Thats right, the newest trend in baby names is based on the Fortnite video game LOL! The name Leviathan increased by 46 percent for boys, Bunny surged 30 percent for girls, and the name Rogue became 47 percent more popular for girls and rose 21 percent for boys over the course of 2018.

People are insane right? Naming your child after a character from a video game is something I'd never do. But we do live in a free country; so I guess it comes down to the old saying "to each his own".
