TIME Magazine is bringing us the story that The Social Security Administration has put out their list of the top baby names in the United States again, and the list clearly shows that Twilight continues to have an influence on new baby names. While they acknowledge that the name Jacob was growing in popularity before Twilight, it’s taken a big jump to number one for two years. Meanwhile the name Isabella, not having made the list in recent history, has been number one for the last two years thanks of course to our Bella Swan.

Phenomena such as Twilight and Teen Mom have shown the true, semi-shocking breadth of their influence in the government’s analysis of baby-naming last year.

Isabella and Jacob, names of the female protagonist and her handsome werewolf from Twilight, reign supreme on the list for the second straight year. (Sorry, Team Edward.) True, Twilight’s Jacob, played by Taylor Lautner — i.e. the first actor you think of when wondering whose abs you could do your laundry on — isn’t entirely responsible for the popularity of the name. We know this because that appellation has been in the Top 10 for the past 12 years, but this is only Isabella’s second year to make the cut in recent history, arguably courtesy of author Stephenie Meyer.

The list is put out by the Social Security Administration (who has to have something fun to do with all those birth records), and they have a feature which shows the change in the popularity for names, giving some limelight to those who did well for themselves without making it into the Top 10. The two with the biggest jumps were Maci and Bentley, just like the young mother and young son featured on Teen Mom, following their stint on 16 and Pregnant. Another fast-riser was Knox, the name of one of those seemingly thousands of kids in Brangelina’s family entourage. Tiana, the name of the princess in The Princess and the Frog, saw a surge, as did Kellan, a name shared by Kellan Lutz, another actor from Twilight.

EW has not one but two exclusive images from Stephenie Meyer’s new book, The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide, which goes on sale April 12: Bella as a vampire and Bella in her wedding dress. A nice walk-up to the first Breaking Dawn film, no? I didn’t expect to like the first Twilight graphic novel as much as I did, and these illustrations are by that book’s illustrator, Young Kim, who did such a great job bringing Meyer’s characters to life.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are getting ready to walk down the aisle – as their characters Bella Swan and Edward Cullen.

The (onscreen and off) lovebirds are beginning to wrap up primary filming of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, both parts 1 and 2, which is expected to finish this month – but not before they shoot the scene where the mortal Bella and vampire Edward tie the knot.

In anticipation of the big scene, manyBreaking Dawn cast members have been arriving in Squamish, Canada. Anna Kendrick, Justin Chon, Gil Birmingham, Christian Serratos and Ashley Greene are among those who’ve so far come to town for wardrobe fittings and for hair and make-up.

Also spotted nearby:

• Kellen Lutz having a casual lunch in the lounge of Rockwell’s Restaurant, where he was reading a book and checking his phone, according to a witness.

• Mackenzie Foy, who plays Stewart and Pattinson’s child, was spotted skipping around the grounds of her hotel with her mother. Several Twilightfans recognized the young star and waved. She enthusiastically waved back before heading back inside.

• Jackson Rathbone was also out for a walk enjoying the spring sunshine recently when he was swarmed by a group of ‘tween girls who’d been celebrating a birthday lunch in the hotel restaurant. They offered him a bouquet of Gerber daisies and giggled as they spoke with him. Jackson graciously accepted the flowers and thanked the girls.

• Taylor Lautner was snapped having dinner at one of his favorite sushi restaurants in Squamish on Thursday. The star, who was dressed down in sweat pants and a hoodie, appeared relaxed, according to an observer

• And Peter Facinelli is clearly hard at work: The actor, who plays Carlisle Cullen, Tweeted on Wednesday: “All nighter tonight @ work. Sleep tight. I’ll be lurching in the woods.”
