Some of the biggest baby names of 2013 were inspired by the reality stars on A&E’s “Duck Dynasty,” the Daily Mail reported.

Of the key characters on the show, the name Korie, who is Willie Robertson’s wife and business partner, increased by 89 percent and the name Mia, Missy Robertson’s daughter, was up 44 percent, the report said.

Phil, Sadie and Silas were up 32, 23 and 15 percent, respectively.

“Duck Dynasty” centers around the lives of the Robertson family, who became wealthy from their family-operated business, Duck Commander, operated in West Monroe, Louisiana. The show has been hailed for its wholesome family entertainment and American values.

Variations of the name Kay, Phil Robertson’s wife, also crop up in the top 100 girls’ list for 2013, with Kaylee at number 19 and Kayla at number 87, the Daily Mail reported.
