In response to the post asking about what turns you off of a name, I said that I don't like names that are too strongly associated with a book/tv show/movie.

So, I'm just wondering...what are some names that, for you, you have a strong association with a bookd/tv show/movie. Ones that no matter how hard you try, even if it is a good name on it's on, you can't stop associating it with that book/tv show/movie.


For me, it's names like Hermione, Vernon, Petunia, etc. Most of the ones from the Potter series except, oddly enough, James and Lily.

Also...Alexander (Xander), Willow, Cordelia, Buffy (though...hopefully nobody would ever actually use that...). The rest of the names on that show, I can seperate from the series.

EDIT: I almost forgot one. Almost any other name on the show, I could seperate out, but...I don't think I'll ever be able to seperate the name Sawyer from Lost.
