I'm betting there'll be many a Khaleesi, Arya, Sansa, or Daenerys in a few years.

Martin has a section at his website where he puts pics of kids (and pets) named after his characters.  ;)

A couple of friends of mine named their newborn Bran back in january.

Do devotees of this type of literature tend to procreate a lot?

You'd be amazed. And girls can be nerds too. And these particular ones have transcended their niche and become mainstream.

Brandon is a perfectly fine name.

Friends of friends at home had the last name Düwel, which is Low German for Devil. Had their kid been a son, he would have been named Damian. Alas, they had a girl and named her Midajah after Scott Steiner's valet in WCW (NOT kidding):

Go to a nerd event nowadays and you'll find a sizeable number of girls nerding it up as well.

Definitely.  I'd avoid paying attention to the hype, though, and just enjoy it for what it is: a really tasty, unhealthy burger with tasty, unhealthy fries.

I'll take your word for it.  I assume these girls are paid somehow?  Or are they sizable girls?  :P
