Most popular baby names list: Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad and Marvel prove strong influences

The UK’s most popular baby names list for 2013 came out today, revealing the influence of our favourite TV shows, films and books.
Walter and Skyler White from Netflix original Breaking Bad have had a rising effect on names since the TV series aired in 2008. Last year, 72 baby girls were called Skyler, while 58 boys were named Walter, in a nod to the overwhelming popular show, about a chemistry teacher turned meth dealer.
Hit fantasy drama Game of Thrones has also made an impact on new mums and dads since 2011, with 11 Theons and six Tyrions appearing on the list of baby names given to 3 or more boys in 2013. Tywin, Joffrey, Petyr and Varys are yet to crack said list.
