Los Angeles, CA -- According to the website BabyNames.com, Ava and Aidan were the top names for 2006.

The name Madison slipped from the number one girl's name to number four.

On the boys' side, names Aiden, Caden, Bradenand Jaden continue to top the charts.

BabyNames.com calculates the top names list from the favorite name lists of over a million site members for the year 2006.

Jennifer Moss, founder and CEO says, "Celebrity culture always has an influence onnaming trends." She continues "but it seems like it has increased inrecent years."Moss says the name Ava started becoming popular after celebrity couple Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe chose the name for their daughter in 1999. Other celeb parents who chose the name Ava include X-Man Hugh Jackman and TV star Heather Locklear.

However if you think the divorce bound Federlines were the first celeb couple to go with the name Jayden, you are mistaken. Jaden (and its various spellings) first started appearing on on the site'slists after Will Smith and Jada Pinkett chose the name for their son back in 1998.

"It usually takes 3-4 years for a new name to makeit from the celebrities to the masses," says Moss, "and that's only if the names are not too wild!"Based on recent trends, keep an eye out for Suri Cruise] and Shiloh [Jolie-Pitt] to appear on the list in upcoming years.
