 Color Us surprised! Instagram has inspired parents to name their children after the popular platform’s filters, according to the annual BabyCenter Baby Names Survey released on Tuesday, Dec. 1. 
 
 For boys, the names Lux and Ludwig — two filters that have increased in popularity by 75 percent and 42 percent, respectively, since last year — were the most popular. Other filters that parents chose for their boys’ names included Amaro, Reyes, Hudson, and Kelvin. 
 
 For girls, the names Valencia, Juno, and Willow were the most popular this year. 
 
 
 
 “We were a little surprised by this,” Linda Murray, editor-in-chief of BabyCenter, told TODAY Parents. “But there’s this beautiful thing that happens with an Instagram filter. You take these precious moments in your life and it makes them even more beautiful, it enhances them. I think people just have really warm feelings about that and these names come into their consciousness.” 
 
 Still, not every Instagram filter is translating to a child’s name. 
 
 
 
 “No one’s naming their baby X-Pro II,” Murray joked. “They’re looking for something unique, but not unheard of.” 
 
 According to BabyCenter, almost 75 percent of new moms use their phones to share photos of their children, with 30 percent sharing pics daily.

– In news sure to provoke heavy sighing and eye-rolling from people who like to complain about kids today: Kids today are now being named after Instagram filters, Us Weekly reports. In fact, Today calls it "one of the hottest baby name trends of 2015." So who are these new Insta-children? According to BabyCenter's list of top baby names released Tuesday, the name Lux is 75% more popular for boys than last year, while Ludwig is 42% more popular. Other filter names—Amaro (26%), Reyes (10%), Hudson (4%), and Kelvin (3%)—are also rising in popularity for boys. Meanwhile on the girls' side, Juno ("makes outdoor photos especially gorgeous") is up 30% in popularity, Valencia ("gives pictures a soft, warm glow") is up 26%, and Willow is up 13%. BabyCenter reports one of the reasons for the increase in filter-inspired names is the amount of time new parents spend on social media. According to Us Weekly, 75% of new moms use their phones to share baby photos, with 30% doing so daily. "There’s this beautiful thing that happens with an Instagram filter," BabyCenter's editor-in-chief tells Today. "You take these precious moments in your life and it makes them even more beautiful, it enhances them. I think people just have really warm feelings about that." However that doesn't hold true for every filter. BabyCenter reports Sierra, Walden, and Lark—all names of Instagram filters—are becoming less popular human names.
