Baby name expert Linda Rosenkrantz picks the awesomely-named pop culture icons of 2014 who could inspire this year’s babies.

Ansel

According to Rosenkrantz: "Young Ansel Elgort hit the daily double this year via leading roles as Caleb Prior in Divergent and Augustus (Gus) Waters in The Fault in Our Stars. His father being a photographer, it’s a no-brainer that his name was inspired by the iconic Ansel Adams."

Daenerys

Rosenkrantz marvels -- "Daenerys Targaryen is the silvery-haired, purple-eyed character in the megapopular Game of Thrones. Invented by author George R. R. Martin, Daenerys ranks a surprising Number 77 on Nameberry—though it’s nowhere near as prevalent as GOT name Arya."

Another fan favorite? Khalessi is currently one of the top searched names on Rosenkrantz's site.
