Photo by Nicole080984Two characters on Twilight -- Isabella and Jacob -- earned the top spots for most popular baby names for 2009.
I have to admit, I sort of held my breath when scrolled down the list of boys and girls names. I really didn't want my twins' names to be on the list only because I grew up with one of the most popular names ever and I don't want that for my kids.
Still, there are some fantastic names on the list ...

My son's name, Hunter, is ranked 56th; and my daughter Penelope's name is at 252. If your baby's name didn't make the top 20, you can plug in your child's name at the Social Security Administration website and see where it ranked.
Did your baby's name make the top 20? What did it rank?
