If you were (hypothetically just out of interest) going to name your baby boy or girl after a character in a film or TV show what name would you choose?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

These are mostly names I’d not be brave enough to really use, but if there wasn’t that social limitation, I think all are lovely names or have a positive association with the character.

Atticus (To Kill a Mockingbird)
Beatrix (Kill Bill)
Daphne (Frasier)
Korra (Legend of Korra)
Merida (Brave)
Niles (Frasier)
Sophia (Golden Girls)
Willow (Buffy)

More of these are going to come to me.

DS is called Westley after the character in The Princess Bride.

We also considered:
Victor from the book A Star Called Henry.
Peregrine "Pip" from Lord of the Rings
Lorelei from Gilmore Girls
