Fiction Revisited
Nov. 4th, 2007 11:32 am A recent post asked about names you would NOT consider using because of pop culture references (tv, movies, books, etc...). What about names that, for you, benefit from these references? Are there any names that you love because of their use in a book, movie, etc...? What about any names that aren't "real" names that you would use because of a fictional reference?
For me, I love the name Kisten because of the Rachel Morgan books, Dresden for the Harry Dresden series, Leander from Greek Mythology, Gage from Pet Cemetary, Curran from Magic Bites, and probably a lot more if I thought about it. I also love Ender, but I don't know that I would ever really use it. For girls, I love Phedre from the Kushiel series, Antigone from Antigone, Nimue from Arthurian literature, Hero from Greek mythology.
WDYT?
