2007: The Cinematic Year Of Anton

By Peter ScirettaDec. 30, 2007 12:23 am EST

Every year new names become popular. Cinemascopian points out that 2007 has had three films featuring lead characters with the unusual name of Anton:

Anton Ego, "Ratatouille"

Anton Corbijn, "Control"

Anton Chigurh, "No Country for Old Men"

I wonder if such a cinematic occurrence might eventually someday reflect in those popular baby name charts. Don't get me wrong, I don't think Anton will replace Michael. I'm just wondering if Anton's "stock" might go up due to the recent big screen appearances.
