Pretty much all my favorite names come from books. I fall in love with the characters, which leads to the names...

Matilda (Matilda by Roald Dahl)
Henry and Clare (The Timetraveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger)
Lilly and James (Harry Potter)
Dexter (Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay (I think))
Charlotte and Avery (Charlotte's Web by E.B. White)
Ruby (Ruby the Copycat, my fav book when I was little and The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom)
Holden (The Catcher in the Rye by J.D.Salinger)
Harper, Scout, Atticus, Radley (To Kill A Mocking Bird by Harper Lee)
Tala (Also from Mitch Albom's The Five People You Meet In Heaven)                                                                                                                            

That is just a few.

What are some of your favorites that were influenced by books/movies/tv?

Pretty much all the names from A Series of Unfortunate Events. Violet, Klaus, Olaf, Beatrice, Bertrand, Fiona, and Friday. Friday is probably my favorite. I even like Lemony.

I like Narcissa, but I'm not sure if I got that from Harry Potter.

I also like Jane from Jane Eyre, and Tobias from Animorphs.

Oh, and Trillian and Ford from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
