Congrats, man. At one point I wanted to name my son Beowulf but that was never going to fly with the wife. As others have suggested, do something subtle involving a middle name. But don't go wild. Fred 'Living Tribunal' Williams doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.

In Marvel comics it turns out it’s Tarene. Wasn't her name Thorin in Next Avengers cartoon movie? It's been a while. Torunn was his daughter in that movie. Tarene is the female Thor in the comics, but she’s not related to Thor. Thorin the bitter dwarf in The Hobbit. Dudes name. |

Got my first kid coming in May. I'm trying to convince my wife to use a comic-inspired name. So far my suggestions were Gotham for a boy, Thorin for a girl. She liked Kal-el for a boy but we already have a friend who did that. Any suggestions? 
I cant think of anything more corny and narcissistic. Do your child a favor and name them something normal. And don't spell it some wrong ass way but still pronounce it the same as it always has been (for example don't spell it Macques when its just Max!). And for gods sake don't do BOTH at the same time because then I will find you, kill you, take your child, rename them, and raise them better than you could.
I too have a friend who named their son Kal El. I laugh at that child all the time. ALL the time. And more behind his back. Naming your child after Superman...Really?! Only naming them after Jesus fricking Christ could it be worse! I've known one of them too. Ugh! What's wrong with people? Nicholas Cage named his son Kal El. That makes me laugh. Kal El Cage...
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAA!!!
Also take into consideration what people will nickname your child. Peers hardly ever use full names. Names almost always boil down to nicknames. William will almost always boil down to Bill or Will. What the hell will Gotham boil down to? Goth?! Got?! Go!? What?! Don't fuck that kids life up. Don't do it. Be better. Resist the urge.
When your child grows up he'll be all like "What the fuck were they thinking?! Did my parents like cities?! We didn't even live in one! I fucking hate Batman! And my sisters name is Thorin for fucks sake! Thorin! Who the fuck names a girl some shit like Thorin?! What is this, Lord of the Rings?!!!"
Y'know what, I got one for you! Name him Metropolis! If you're gonna do some dumb shit might as well go ALL IN! They'll nickname him Metro!!!
This is one I hope your wife wins. For your child's sake! I'm thinking about the children here!!!
In all seriousness though, don't do it. The child's name is not a toy to play with. This is going to be their life.
And congratulations. I hope you have a healthy, happy child.

No, for God's sake. I do not want to become the laughingstock of the people. Oh I don't know. I have a friend named Jor-el and no one laughs at his name. Not to his face!!! That's even worse than Kal-El!!! OMG! Please tell me your lying about that! I couldn't be friends with that person. The urge to constantly laugh would overtake me all the time!

Me and the ex had a pregnancy scare once. (Neither of us wanted kids, but she couldn't remember to take her pills for shit in the beginning. I told her that's what the sugar pills in the packs are for, but she would skip those and sometimes forget to take the first actual pill.) I had her convinced for Vassago Daemon for a boy and Lilith Nyx for a girl. We would've called it by their middle name. I go by my middle and so does she. Not exactly superhero names mind you, just thought I'd share. The problem with this is that you might still have children one day... and you might still name them one of those dumb ass names.
Fuck it. I got better choices for you: Name them Gotham if its a boy or Thorin if its a girl. It'll be an improvement.
Vassago Daemon or Lilith Nyx... did you get those from the local satanic death cult registry? Was Voldemort already taken? Do want the children to have a complex? Is that it? Life is hard as it is man. Don't give them another hurdle before they're even born.

Worked with a dude who's name was John June. He named is daughter April May. I think I'd punch my Parents in the throat if that was done to me. So you went and topped them with Vassago Daemon or Lilith Nyx?!?!?!?!?! |

Nope, not lying. I do have a friend named Jor-el, though most people end up spelling it Jorrel. And no, none of us laugh at it. Most think it's pretty cool. |

Nyx and Daemon aren't really evil just the Greek Goddess of Night and mischievous spirits respectively. There was some talk of going with Damon instead of Daemon as it was more common. Like Damon Berryhill. Now granted Vassago and Lilith are pretty famous Jewish Demons. In the Lesser Key of Solomon they call Vassago a Spirit, but that was Aliester Crowley's spin on it. Although it was said that Solomon did use them to build his temple so maybe Vassago can be considered a spirit not a demon. Lilith was double edged. My ex had a grandmother named Lilith so it wasn't just a name that fit the theme we were going with. Edit: Now there was talk in the beginning about going with Stephen Ray. After Stephen King and Dean Ray Koontz, but sounded to Rednecky. And Tabitha Liegh. after Tabitha King and Leigh Nichols one of Dean's pen names. Again shot down because kinda Rednecky. |

Maybe, but it's moot. I'm 41 and have no plans of raising a kid in my mid-life to old age. |

His peers would be like "Is that your grandpa?"
And Daemon would be like "NO! That's not my grandpa! I commend his soul to the 7 level! Muah ha ha ha ha!!!"
And his peers would be like "...Dude, you're taking your name thing way too far..."
