Has anybody named one of their children after a fictional character or celebrity?

My children's names are a little unusual...

Santford Lee (Santford was my grandfather's name, Lee is a family name on my ex's side of his family)...

Jasmine Netta Nicole (Jasmine from the flower, Netta was my grandmother's name, no idea where Nicole came from )

Damian Alyster (loose interpretation "defender of mans fate")

Lillyth Ann (loose interpretation "merciful night")

Love those name combinations. So pretty.

actually, that is the hebrew translation. Since I am not Hebrew that means nothing.

The name Mara means bitter or grief

Mara - meaning of Mara name

Not a nice name imo

My name means Wagon Maker
A friend of mine's daughter is named Leia

I don't put much stock in the "meaning" of a name. It is a name....most of the meanings come out of ancient times and/or the bible. Neither of which has any relevancy for me.

The most common way it seems to give significance to a name
(other than it sounds good) is to use a name of a person
that you admire----the Jewish tradition (how I got my name)
uses the first letter of that person---not the whole name ergo
why I'm "Hugh" and not "Henry" (my grandfather's name---who I
was named after).

My dad told me that while name searching he remembered
the actor "Hugh O'Brian"

----and even though I'm named after my grandfather----and
my aunt (Brian from "B" Brenda)----that's the actual person who "inspired"
my actual name "Hugh Brian"----a celebrity

I look Hugh O'Brian up on wiki every so often---interesting guy.

I bet some of you classic movie buffs know him.
(I sure as heck wouldn't otherwise!)

My friend's kids are named Han and Leia.

I pushed for Jabba or Sebulba, but he didn't go for it....

I did put the name Raquel to my daughters mum after Raquel Welch but we kept with the name Hollie.

My dad is a big John Wayne fan and wanted to name me J/W but mum said no and they agreed Wayne John,john being my middle name (parents eh)

OK so my first son I leaned toward David. Kirks son from the movie

2nd son I went with Eric as in the viking.

4th Daughter got Sarah cause I wantd Sarah Jane from Doctor Who..

The wife vetoed me for daughter #2 and got Jessica.

My mom tells me i am called Stewart because way back when she was mad on the film star Stewart Granger.

My youngest sons name is Adam. My wife just happened to like the name although I tell people he was named for Adam West. My middle name is Wayne. I doubt my parents were thinking of Bruce when they decided on it but it's fun nonetheless.

My first born is Sarah after her greart Great Aunt. My wifes middle name is Leigh but we didn't want Sara Leigh so I changed it to Ashleigh for Ashville NC (Our 2nd anniversary and most likely site of conception) and Leigh for my wife.

My second is named Emily because we liked the name and all our second names came back t Elizabeth so we have an Emily Elizabeth (Clifford the Big Red Dog's owner!)

I like the way the names flow together.

[Captain]

I was named after Clayton Moore.

A friend of mine named his first born son Xavier, and just had his second boy whom was named....wait for it...Logan. Guys been on a big Black Hole kick lately, so I'm betting the next kid (boy or girl) will be called Maximillion!

Lastly, an ex-coworker was named Cornelius after the famous acting monkey of stage and screen. Insisted we call him Corie instead.
His dad was a huge POTA fanatic. His brother's middle name was Aldo, and his sister's middle name was Zira....Didnt make for a happy family unit.
