Eleven years ago, I had never heard the name, Cullen. When we brought *baby boy* home from the hospital, July 20, 1999, we had to come up with a name . . . and fast. It actually took us a few days because we couldn't agree on a name. Give us a break, we didn't even know we were getting *baby boy* until about 3 hours before we brought him home, so we didn't have the normal preparation of pouring over baby name books that most people get.
Anyway, after a few days of deliberation, we both FINALLY agreed on a name . . . CULLEN. It is of Irish~Gaelic decent and means, Handsome.
Fast forward to the present:
ShareThe new statistics for baby names are in this year, and guess what the fastest-rising boy’s name is? “Cullen,” now the 485th most popular in the country.
Thanks to those dang vampires, Cullen is now becoming a popular name.
Just for the record . . . my son was NOT named for a vampire!!!

Whatever! You know you love Twilight so much! Too bad I'm team Jacob all the way!
We ran into the same thing with Piper! Because there is a Piper on the show "Charmed."
And, Cullen was on my short list for Teague! I wanted a Gaelic/Irish name. I still love it, but I don't like Twilight.
also, for the record, Piper was not named after a witch. And Teague means 'wise poet.'
Who'd a guessed! Very interesting, actually some one asked me just the other day, "His name is Cullen" "yes" i said, you mean like Edward Cullen" i said no, "like Cullen BOTT!"
