Bad idea?

[dancemummy7]

Is it a bad idea to name my child (both first and middle name) after my favourite childhood film character? Ive always found the name beautiful and it means a lot to me, however I cant decide if thats too strange?

I think that’s fine. Many people use films and entertainment as inspirations.

It won’t date her to a time and place like Kylie, Shania etc

India Opal sounds lovely! Go for it 🙂

No, if you want to name her after a character from a film, with a 'proper' name, that's fine. It's not like it's Minnie Mouse'

I can't say I live either, but you didn't ask & she's not my baby!

I would use both if you like them. It's rare to say first & middle name together once you've told everyone anyway

If you've always wanted to do it, do it!

Middle name will never be used except on paperwork, so if you love it, use it.

I just think of Katie Hopkins when I hear the name India.

I’ve never heard of the character so I say go for it.
