Marvel is dominating the box offices right now, with successful films like Black Panther and Avengers. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been around for years and its impact on our culture and society is unmatched. 

Recently, fans started taking it a step further by naming their children after these famous superhero characters. 

The US Social Security Administration released data of the 1,000 most popular baby names. There are the typical names like Emma and Olivia and some pretty unusual ones like Banner and Hawkeye. 

Here are some of the popular names: 

 

1. Parker 

1,487 female, 4,346 male


There are 5,833 babies born in 2017 who share a name with Peter Parker, an awkward high schooler by day and Spiderman by night. 

2. Wade 

899 male


Inspired by Wade Wilson, the man who became horribly disfigured and gained mutant powers from an experimental cancer treatment. You know him better as Deadpool. 

3. Loki 

5 female, 91 male


Yes, 96 babies were actually named Loki. Not family pets, butactual children. We don't have an explanation for this, either. 

4. Valkyrie 

63 female


Okay, this name sounds ridiculous, but think of all of the nicknames you could get from Valkyrie: Val, Kyrie, the possibilities are endless! After all, who wouldn't want to be named after a fearless alien fighter, right? 

5. Marvel 

21 female, 29 male


50 kids born in 2017 were actually named Marvel. On the plus side, those 50 kids don't have to wait for Halloween to dress up as their favorite characters — they get to be Marvel superheroes all year long. 

6. Hawkeye 

6 Male 

Six actual kids were named Hawkeye in 2017! For the sake of these six children, we hope the archer/Avenger gets his own movie. 

7. Rocket

9 female, 28 male

The feisty Rocket Raccoon has up to 37 kids named after him! Guess being named Rocket is better than Groot.

8. Drax

11 male

Who doesnt want to be named after the funy and muscular Drax? A total of 11 kids were named Drax last year and it surely is a unique name.

We can only wonder what other names we’ll be seeing soon. Our guess is probably a baby T’Challa or even a baby Thanos!
