The most popular baby names of 2018 have been revealed

Loving the fact there's a Game of Thrones character here. Know any names on the list?

Now that we're past the halfway point of the year, we've already talked about some of our favourite TV shows and movies, but the arbitrary opinions don't stop there because Baby Centre have revealed their list of the most popular names so far in 2018.

Much like most other walks of life, it appears that pop-culture is continuing to have an impact on the decision making process of most parents because there's a healthy mix of famous names from TV and film in the boys and girls categories.

FYI, we're delighted to see that comic-books and Game of Thrones have inspired a new wave of geekdom in these happy new parents.

The recent Royal Wedding and the ever-growing popularity of superhero films have also been cited as reasons for certain names making the grade.

On this note, the popularity of names like Harvey have also been shaped by the headlines. Following the various allegations and stories about Harvey Weinsetin's sexual misconduct, it's not surprising to see that the name Harvey has fallen by over 30%.

This being said, if your name is Olivia or Muhammad then you're clearly in good company.
