book or film name

[themumfairy]

what would your children be called if you named them after your favourite book or film character?

Norman Bates.

Rhett Butler

Ross (Poldark)
Scout ( Finch)

Alabama or Clarence if a boy.

I would so love to use Alabama!

Perdita and Gwyn from the books and rose/Sadie and hakeem from the movies.

Currently if born right now, DD would be Demelza Poldark, or possibly her daugher Clowance.

Esther Greenwood. Hate the name sadly.

Leonie from These Old Shades by Georgette Heyer. I wouldn't actually do it because I'm not sure if I like it as a name, but I love the character.

My dd is called Molly after Molly in the film ghost. Funny thing is I didn't even particularly like the film

Akash was a male character in Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles . I don't much like this name, but if I were to change it to Akasha, the female version, it would be much better. I'm actually not sire how to pronounce it, though another way I would spell it is Acacia, which is a flower.

I understand that Amidala is a female character in Star Wars, which I am not a big fan of. I do love the name, however.

Evanna is the name of a Harry Potter actress who pronounces her name ee-vah-na.

I guess I'm not much into the boy names in movies, though my first child, I would prefer him to be a boy.

Hermione
Anne (Shirley)
Almanzo
John (Thornton)

DD1 is Elizabeth after Elizabeth Bennet and DD2 is named for Eleanor Bold (and also Eleanor Marx). I read P&P, The Warden and Yvonne Kapp's biography in my late teens/early 20s and fell in love with those characters - obviously Marx was real not fictional - hence the names. If I'd had a third girl she would probably have been Katherine from a novel by Eleanor Fairburn that I also read and loved as a teenager - not quite as literary as the others.

DS3's middle name is Ross (Poldark).

Angel (Islington) from Neverwhere. Pretty unisex!

Elena (kelley Armstrong otherworld series)

Drop dead Fred - my favourite film ever! makes me smile and laugh even on a very rubbish day but not a great name for a child

Books... Oscar (Tin Drum) and Fevvers (Nights at the Circus)
Films... Edward (Scissorhands) and Lydia (Fisher King)

I did. Dd is called Scarlett.

We'd have an Isolde, Hermione or Katniss for a girl and a Rupert (Grint) or Tristan.

Veronica Mars.

I am named after both my parents's favourite literary character. They discovered this coincidence on their first date, and decided ifvtgeybevervhsdvsvgitlnthstbyhry'd call me Alice.

Clay (Morrow)
Katniss (Everdeen)
Adrian (Mole) -- actually been really concidering this one for DS3

Francie (A Tree Grows In Brooklyn) for a girl or George (Bailey, It's A Wonderful Life) for a boy.

I'm named Anna after the character in the Golden Notebook by Doris Lessing.

I love the name Verity from Poldark, and Jennet from the Woman in Black (but probably wouldn't use that one as she was a mad ghost who killed children.....)

Antonia
Lena
Frances
