I am aware.
I’m also aware that comics very rarely have an impact on naming practices, especially compared to movies.

I’m trying to think of a single name trend that has categorically come from comics, but I am coming up blank. Can you suggest any?
Also, I was a teenage namesnerd when Freya started becoming popular, and I can remember enough about the popular media of the time to say that the Thor comics were definitely not in the public mind enough to inspire a naming trend.

Yes! I can. Clark has risen in popularity despite the movie flopping. Meanwhile vintage Superman comics go for higher prices than ever. That’s just one example. Ivy has risen in popularity also since the resurgence of vintage comic trading in the 90s yet the Poison Ivy character never made it into movies (Which, by the way, the reason why comics enjoyed a resurgence in popularity in the 90s is in large part due to eBay.) I’m not sure why you feel so adamant to make claims on which you have not studied.

Clark has risen every time there was a Superman movie around (regardless of whether or not it flopped).
Poison Ivy was a main character in 1997’s Batman & Robin film; however, Ivy as a name is linked to broader nature name trends and I can’t see any evidence that its popularity is linked to the character.
