With all the talk of using last names of your favorite celebrities for your kids, what are some of your favorite actors and actresses, singers' etc last names that could work for first names?

For me, the only actresses (and I have no actors) that I would name my kids after are Kate Walsh, Judith Light and Marcia Cross.  I don't think they'd necessarily make a good first name.  For singers I could use last names after Josh Groban, Michael Buble, George Strait, Elton John and so forth.  I actually like the first name Drake because of Drake Bell (whose music I embarrassingly like).  I do plan on using the last name Manning after a friend / "teacher" though.

o_O Groban, Buble and Strait for first names? Seriously?

Morrison, Dylan, and Nixon are all on my list.

The name game...

Interesting topic. I've always thought that if I ever fathered a daughter, I'd like to give her "Carole" as either a first or middle name, in honor of my all-time favorite actress, Carole Lombard (whose generous nature made her beloved on film sets and one of the most popular people in the Hollywood community, even before her untimely death). Additionally, "Carole" isn't that frequently used as a name these days, so it would be distinctive. "Lombard" as a first name probably wouldn't work for me, nor would the last name that Carole was originally born with (Jane Alice Peters).

And while Goldie Hawn (above) is one of my more recent favorites and from all reports a nice person, I'm just not that keen about naming a girl "Goldie"...or, for that matter, "Hawn."

BTW, I doubt you would have started this thread had your favorite actress been Hayden Panettiere.

I love William Blake

Harrison Ford (Although I prefer Harrison)
Jon Stewart
Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain)
Ernest Hemingway

I would never consider any of them except maybe Ford and Stewart.

Audrey for Audrey Hepburn, but that's such an obvious choice.
