Just a point – Helen Baxendale’s daughter is called Nell, not Nelly.

Well, I don’t have any kids yet, but I plan on using some names from books/movies. But to begin with, my cat’s name is Scout after To Kill A Mockingbird (and she is adorable) which is my favorite book. If we have a boy, I want to name him Jackson Atticus–Jackson is from Steel Magnolias my all time favorite movie, and also my grandfather goes by Jack. Atticus is obviously after the Dad from To Kill A Mockingbird. I would like to name my daughter Grace May, and I also have the name Riley Lynn picked out, but I really just like Grace, it didn’t come from a show or anything, and my Great Grandmother’s middle name was May spelled M-A-Y and I have always liked that since it is my favorite month and we got married in May. Riley is my dad’s first name and I like it for a girl paired with Lynn.

i dont have any kids yet, but.. i do have LOTS of potential names. One after a book, one a movie, one a song.

Scout because To Kill a mocking bird is my favourite book. But i dont think my hubby would ever go for it.

Willow (because of the movie Willow, not Buffy). But it would always be associated with Buffy.

Iris after the Goo Goo Dolls song.

Lennon after John Lennon.

But other than that, its more biblical names, or family names. (Seth, Issac, Noah, Gabriel, Joseph or Christopher for boys)(Faith, Elizabeth, Eden, Charlotte, Evelyn or Lily for girls)

Im never gonna have enough babies to use all the names i love, but oh well

My 11 year old daughter, Charlotte Elise, is named after “Charlotte Sometimes” and “A Letter to Elise” by The Cure. Yep. I love The Cure.

I am currently pregnant with our second child, and if it’s a girl, she will be called Addison after Addison Montgomery on Grey’s Anatomy. I heard her name when I started watching the show and I just fell in love with it.

I technically took my daughter’s names from horror movies. I heard Sydney when I saw Scream 3 and Addison in Saw 2. I just heard them on camera and thought “oooh!”

I have an Oliver after little, mischevious Oliver Twist – plus my grandmas name was Olive Can’t wait to have my Anabelle Shocked to hear about so many – NONE is my area (hope it stays that way!)

My son’s name is Hunter. Obviously Hunter was my favorite television show. There was this episode where he delivered a little girl. The mom was so grateful that she named her Hunter. The title of the episode was a little girl named Hunter. I was pregnant at the time and looking for a unique name, so Hunter it was. The only thing is that I didn’t have a girl. Well, Hunter’s a unisex name so there you go.

I absolutely love the name Aurora for a girl, after Sleeping Beauty (which was one of my favorite movies from my childhood). I also love the name Lily, particularly because it’s the name of Harry’s mother in the Harry Potter series, and I secretly love Hermione too although I know my family would never go for it! lol I also love the name Rhiannon which is an old name from the famous Welsh story the Mabinogion(my family is Welsh). Brianna is another one of my favorites from Edmund Spencer’s 16th century poem “The Faerie Queene” (pronounced Bree-anna).

I will definately name one of my sons Ephraim after the character on Everwood. Another name I adore is Delia also from Everwood. Other names I like is Holden, Harper, Scout, Elvis and Milo.
