It's been fun to watch Dakota Fanning grow up on screen. She always seemed wise beyond her years as the child in I Am Sam and War Of The Worlds. She's blossomed into young womanhood in films like The Secret Life of Bees and Push. Still, she's a little young to start thinking about children of her own.

"I'm obsessed with baby names, with what people name their children," Fanning revealed in a press conference last weekend. "Just like friends, anybody. I know a lot of people's baby names. But I just love names in general."

Okay, at least she's not thinking of her own… yet. "I've been planning my children's names since I was like four. I have lists of girls, boys, and I have them from all different ages. It's really fun."

Dakota Fanning stars in New Moon opening November 20, and The Runaways next year. Check back with Starpulse for more on Dakota Fanning this month.
