Named after a character

[Littlelilylily]

Been inspired by another thread!

Anyone here named their DC after a character? Or was tempted to?

boys name fat fingers!

My friend has an Arwen.

She's named after her Welsh Grandmother.

Tolkien made up a meaning, not the name!

Someone I follow on insta just launched a website listing children's books by character's name. Mynameismatilda.com

I think they take nominations for books to include, and also definitely kids drawings of their favourite characters. Very sweet. Profits to charity I think too.

I didn't name my son after it specifically, but the good feelings I had about a character with the same name in a much loved children's classic was a strong positive when deciding on it

My daughters named after a character from home and away

Yes, DS is Atticus.

My daughter is named after Ellen Ripley of the Alien films.

I really wanted to name DD Wednesday. DH vetoed it quite strongly.

Misery guts that he is.

NataliaOsipova yeah charlene. i hated my name going up. think it was a popular name in that era. there were 3 charlenes in my highschool class.

My daughter is named after a character in The Time Travelers Wife. Not Henry

@mrscee Love this- I had Dexter on my list when pregnant with my first DC but DH didn't like it

I'm named after a film character. A 60s film. I think a lot of people are named after her. My best friend at school was also named from the same film but a different character.

Yep. DS is named after a character from a late 80s cult classic and a character from Batman. Whilst he isn't named because of them, they are where we heard the names and liked them.
