Four boys names inspired by a super-couple on a now-defunct American soap (As the world turns) and the actors who played them...

The first three are definitely good aren't they? I like the fourth, but know I may be in a minority.

By the way, if you need more persuading of the characters, watch this on youtube:

I'm pretty sure you will like it!

Ok perhaps the question should be has anyone ever named their child after a soap star?

Are you asking for opinions on the names or the soap?

FWIW:
Luke is boring
Noah is nice
Jake is trashy
Van is something with 4 wheels.

Opinions on the names. I know it's strange but I'm sure if u watch a bit of the soap your opinions of the names will change.

thanks Ben.
Bucharest - can't believe you think the name Jake is trashy. Its a classic, isn't it? What about Jacob?

Luke is the nicestSmile Jake and Noah are too cutesy, and Van, well that's quite simply bizarreGrin

Jacob is a classic.
Jake is a long haired 1980s glam metal star.

I can't think of Van as a strange name anymore. If you listen to the actor saying his name, it kind of changes your mind:

I challenge you to not like the name, once you see the person...
