Would they all be from the same book or movie!? What book or movie would you pick!? What names!?Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: LOL, if your name is really Kayleigh, did your parents name you after the '80s song, Kayleigh!? People did - never heard of Kayleigh until the song!. I don't think I'd name a child of mine after a book character just because I liked the character!. But there are a couple of names I first encountered in books!. For years wanted to name a son Jasper - from the little righ boy in The Five Little Peppers and How They Grew!. (NOT from Twilight!) I just loved the name, still do!. I also love the name Taniquel from The Bloody Sun, but I probably wouldn't choose it for a daughter!. Maybe for a pet!? Www@QuestionHome@Com It depends!. I often read a book and love the name of the main character, but if the book/movie were really popular, I wouldn't name my child after the character!. Then people would know where I got the idea!. I loved the name Nathaniel after reading The Amulet of Samarkand!. I wanted my children to be named Marguerite and Percy after reading The Scarlet Pimpernel!. I actually considered Juliet after Romeo and Juliet!. After The Lord of the Rings, I decided my first boy would be named Sam!. I'm still thinking about Antony or Tobias (Toby) from Sweeney Todd!. I know what you're thinking!. Marguerite and Tobias are going to kill me!. Edit: I wouldn't name my children BECAUSE I liked a certain character!. But if I love the name, chances are I'll keep it!. And yes, I do actually love the names Percy and Tobias!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Your favorite book or movie can easily change!.!. Name your child after a name you love, not because you loved the book the character was in!. I have a friend named Jasper - and people now associate him with Jasper Whitlock in Twilight - which is very unfortunate!. Be considerate - Don't name your children ridiculous things you see in a movie or read from a book!. I mean, I enjoyed the Gemma Doyle trilogy - but i'm not going to name my son Kartik just because I liked the character!. I wouldn't want him to be made fun of in school, because of his name!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Ahh, no!. JK Rowling says her favorite boy's name is Harry!. Not mine!. Not now!. Not ever!. If I coincidentally liked the name and the character I would but, probably keep the character out of my explanation to people; they'll most likely find it extremely odd!. Hmm!.!. now that could cause rivalries!. MOM, WHY IS HE EDWARD AND I'M JACOB!. Separate books to avoid literary battles!. I love the Harry Potter books but, I find nothing in the names!. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny none of them do anything for me!. I have an affection for family names or commonly uncommon -IF that makes sense- things that can spawn nick-names nicely!. Www@QuestionHome@Com hmmm!. i would!. i'd never name ALL my children after my characters in my favorite book or movie, cause that'd be a little obsessive, but one or two, why not!? right now, i'm absolutely in love with the name bella!.!.!. yes, from the twilight series!. i wasn't like extremely fond of bella in the series, but i think that name is so pretty!.!.!. i don't like the name isabella, where the name comes from, but if i were to have a girl right now!.!.!. i just might name her bella :]Www@QuestionHome@Com I wouldn't but I know some people who would!. There is even the one girl who claims she is going to name her kid after a corny computer game character!. As for me, I'll just randomly pick out a name that sounds nice!. btw I think this is in the wrong section, there is one on baby naming, or something!.Www@QuestionHome@Com lol !. I'd name my son Harry!. I dont think its embarrasing for him to be named Harry!. and plus as you may have notice, im a huge fan of Harry Potter and that book will always be my favorite, since it brings me positive changes ever since i read the book!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I don't know about kids, but definitely my pets!.
