Would You Name Your Baby After a TV Character?

[ProudTVJunkie]

This isn't exactly character related, but I love choosing names, be it for babies or for characters when I write, and I love learning what other people name their kids.

So here's an article on naming your baby after a TV character. Would you do it, and if so, which name?

Cute idea for an article. As a teacher I heard many names over the years. The ones that drove me crazy were names that were spelled normally but the parent decided on pronouncing the name in a very unique and different way. The poor kid was destined to forever have to correct people.

I have a relative who named her daughter, Temperance, after the Bones character. I asked if her nickname was Bones!

Thanks! I'm glad you like it. If this article does well then we may do a series of them highlighting names from different, popular shows.

OMG! I was just thinking about Xanadu recently. I remember seeing it in a drive-in movie with my family when I was a kid when roller skating was all the rage. I've been thinking about tracking it down and show it to my daughter because I haven't seen it in decades.

Also, I love the name Kira. I'd completely forgotten it was connected to this movie.
