    What's In A Name?

    Here's a list of the most popular "hipster baby names" as defined by aging-hepcat areas like Brooklyn, Madison and Austin. As one might expect, the rents either kick it old school (Olive, Orson, Violet, Sadie (ugh), Silas), literary (Atticus, Dashiell), musical (Lennon, Kingston) misleadingly ethnic (Leopold, Stellan) or frankly pet-like (Butch, Ike, Elvis, Dixie, Duke.) Oddly, "Sarah Palin McCain" has not made the list. We just can't wait until all these poor tykes are doctors and lawyers — not that their parents would want such a square fate for their offspring.
