I admit that when my wife was pregnant with our children, I was influenced by pop culture while thinking about baby names. My wife consented to "Nicholas" from the Nick Seafort saga, but she firmly vetoed my plan to name a son "Bruce Wayne." We had daughters, so it became a moot point.

Other parents are bolder. Among the most popular non-standard baby names of 2012 are Theon (Game of Thrones), Sybil (Downton Abbey) and Decimus (The Hunger Games).
