Working on my data entry job, I came across "Ron Hetwig." It immediately made me think of Harry Potter. Are there any other names that you immediately associate with fiction instead of actual people?
Also what do y'all think of naming children after their parents? Personally I'm against it. My mom and my sister had pretty much the same name, and it was always confusing when people called the house. I'm thinking especially of this because my boyfriend, Casey, wants to name his daughter after him. I have nothing against the name, I just don't want two people with the same name living in the same house. What do you guys think?
(PS this is the same guy who wants to name his first-born son Avalanche)
