Rilla

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

My family and I were talking about naming children after characters in books, when Anne of Green Gables was brought up.

Honestly, I could never get into the series, I found it pretty dull, so is it a little wrong if I like the name Rilla? I'm feeling like I shouldn't, since I haven't read the books.

Do you guys like names from shows, books, movies, that you hate/have never seen/read?
And what do you think of the name Rilla?

The only thing with naming people after characters in books/TV shows you've never read or seen, is that you would WANT to know exactly how that character presents him or herself.

For examples - and this is for ANYONE who's ever read a Malory Towers book, I once met a girl named Gwendoline. It went like this:

"Hi - my name's Gwendoline."
*KW's eyes grow huge, and she gets this really strange look of shock and amusement on her face*
"Yes, I've read Malory Towers, no I'm not a crybaby, a cheat or a suckup."
"Ah, so you've heard that before."
"Many times. Many times."
