TV and films inspire baby names in the UK

Breaking Bad, Gatsby and Game of Thrones have all inspired baby names in the UK this year, while the desire not to be seen as a “Kate copycat” had led to a decline in the popularity of royal names, according to website BabyCentre.

The website has released its list of the top 100 baby names of 2013 and Olivia was most popular for girls while the top boys’ name was Oliver, up three places from last year.
