Not only classic characters like Belle or Ariel, new Disney characters' names such as Moana or Raya are also popularly used by millennial parents. Seeing this phenomenon, one institution named BeenVerified conducted an analysis of the influence of Disney character names on baby names in the United States over the past 5 years.

Merida from the movie Brave, 2012 Koda from the movie Brother Bear, 2003 Moana from the movie Moana, 2016 Finnick from the movie Zootopia, 2016 Mirabel from the movie Encanto, 2021 Ariel from the movie The Little Mermaid, 1989 Flynn from the movie Tangled, 2010 Raya from the movie Raya and the Last Dragon, 2021 Camilo from the movie Encanto, 2021 Elsa from the movie Frozen, 2013

There is also an interesting phenomenon. For example, names like Ariel, Esmeralda, Finnick, Flynn, Koda, Merida, and Moana had a decrease in popularity after the first 5 years following the release of the film. However, these names continued to steadily increase in the following years. Meanwhile, the names Sebastian from The Little Mermaid and Violet from The Incredibles experienced a smaller increase in popularity. Pugh stated that the names Sebastian and Violet continued to experience an increase after the film's release.

In addition to getting a list of the top 10 Disney character names, this study also details the popularity of name usage based on states in America. For example, Moana is popular in Hawaii, Koda is popular in Montana, and the name Tiana is popularly used in Louisiana. Furthermore, Colleen Slagan, a baby name consultant and nurse practitioner, mentions that pop culture and celebrity influence also have a significant impact on baby name trends.

The following is the translation of the 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The name Elsa from the movie Frozen has also faded. However, the name had become famous everywhere after the release of Frozen. "We all know that Elsa had a great influence on toys, costumes, coloring books, and much more. For 20 years before the release of Frozen, Elsa's popularity experienced healthy and stable growth. Then, with the success of the movie, the use of this name continued to increase twofold from 2013 to 2014," he said."

Meanwhile, there are names that are predicted to become popular in the long term, namely Luca and Ariel. Luca is a name that has gained significant momentum due to its alignment with the trend of short and assertive two-syllable names for boys. Report by Salma Rihhadatul Aisy. Source: Parents.
