One new direction — or is it two? — for the intrepid baby namer is toward foreign-word names, which combine two of today's coolest trends.

Along with Luna and Cruz, other Spanish word names in the US Top 1000 include Alma, Dulce, Esmeralda, Julio, Leon, Luz, Maximo, Paloma, and Salvador. In Spain, word names such as Alba, Vega, Candela, and Mar are popular for girls.
