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?

May, which I'm thinking about using as a middle name, or possibly a first name. I got it from My Neighbour Totoro. It was the favourite movie of myself and my sister when we were kids, and we were almost exactly like the two main characters, Mei and Satsuki. I chose the spelling May, because Satsuki means May, and that's what connects the two girls.
