Would you name your child after a fictional movie character?

[Brian in Mesa]

Dee Brown would...and will.

ESPN NBA analyst Dee Brown says he and his wife Tammy are expecting a baby boy next month who'll they name Anakin Walker Brown, after the Star Wars character who becomes Darth Vader.

 

[thirty-two]

it's better than Apple or Coco (non fictional movie characters).

My husband is a huge Superman fan, and if we ever had a son, he would love to name him Kalil--we all have dreams that go unrealized...

It's "Kal El."

I would do Brodie Bruce for a first and middle name

My first choice would be Hannibal, but not the fictional cannibal...the mighty general who punished the Romans for so long.

I threw out Dirk Diggler, but that got shot down pretty quick

 

[Mr.Dibbs]

If I have a boy, I want to name him "Drago" after the guy in Rocky IV. My wife says no, but at least it's better than "Clubber Lang" from Rocky III.

 

[Stout]

I want to name my dog Quarto, so when he goes on the rug, I can yell, "Bad Quarto, bad Quarto! Why didn't you use the Foul Papers!?"

If you get that, you're as big a nerd as I.

 

[abomb]

I want to find a hot wife, procreate and talk her into naming our daughter Mia after Uma Thurman's character in 'Pulp Fiction'. If it is a boy, I will just buy him a "Bad Muthaf*&%a" wallet.

A-Bomb

 

[Jersey Girl]

My sister wants to name her daughter Summer Wind from the Sinatra song and her son Patrick Roy for one of the best goalies of all time.

 

[UncleChris]

Yeah.... If I start a family again at my advanced age, I'll be sure to name them Dweezel and Moon Unit....... Ok, so they are not movie characters.... So I'll name them Shrek and Donkey.

(of course, my wife would find this interesting as she no longer has the necessary plumbing for such an effort...... Adopt, maybe??? )



To answer the real question, No I wouldn't.

 

[NSD_Blonde]

It's "Kal El."

:giantgeek:

Alright, alright--my husband already corrected me--and who is the giant geek???

[SirStefan32]

My kids will be Fox and Dana. Better than Odo and Worf, or Deanna and Data, lol

 

[Dback Jon]

My kids will be Fox and Dana.

And the good thing is, you can use them regardless of what sex they turn out to be!

Edited to remove long signature to stay on joe's good side

psst....(he meant himself)

what he said.

And to further show my geekhood, I'll even correct my own earlier post to show you that "Kal-El" is hyphenated.

One of the names that we have on the short list for our boy due in Sept is "Calvin." One of the things that I haven't shared with my wife is that when you shorten it to Cal it's for all intents and purposes the same as "Kal."

 

[KingofCards]

We named our dog Arwen.

 

[Ryanwb]

My wife named one of our dogs "mia" after the Pulp Fiction character


Me ->

If wifey and I have another kid, I'm gonna name me kid after an ASFNer.

So far, if it's:

a girl = assface;

a dude = djaughe

 

[CQ]

IMO, I think it's fine to name pets after fictional characters. But kids? I mean, how many Dylan's are running around right now between the ages of 6 and 16? :90210:
