babynames | Building on the famous people post....

What fictional characters would you consider naming your kids after? The names can be from anything - TV shows, books, cartoons, video games, etc. I know that I personally get more attached to fictional characters than I do to musicians and actors who are just kind of out there in the stratosphere. Characters are easier for me to connect with, and because of that I tend to have a much longer list of character names that I like.

--Adelaide (There is a long story behind this, but basically there was a game I played growing up where there was a character that I *thought* was named Adelaide. Come to find out recently that her name was actually Adeleine. But I still associate Adelaide with her, so it counts in my mind. :D)
--Anise (Tales of the Abyss)
--Anna (Tales of Symphonia)
--Arwen (Lord of the Rings)
--Bianca (Rune Factory)
--Charlotte (The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle)
--Chloe (Tales of Legendia)
--Colette (Tales of Symphonia)
--Elanor (Lord of the Rings)
--Galadriel (Lord of the Rings/The Great Gilly Hopkins)
--Hermione (Harry Potter)
--Jadzia (ST: DS9)
--Jasmine "Jazz" (Danny Phantom)
--Kara (Illusion of Gaia)
--Lila (August Rush)
--Lilly (Illusion of Gaia)
--Lyra (His Dark Materials)
--Mallory (The Babysitters Club)
--Megara (Hercules)
--Misty (Pokemon)
--Noelle (Tales of the Abyss)
--Norma (Tales of Legendia)
--Pamela (The Office)
--Paulina (Danny Phantom)
--Pearl (Ace Attorney)
--Revan (Knights of the Old Republic)
--Rin (Inuyasha)
--Rosie (as a nn; Lord of the Rings)
--Samantha (Danny Phantom)
--Valerie (Danny Phantom)
--Violet (Boxcar Children)
--Zelda (Legend of Zelda)

--Apollo (Ace Attorney)
--Ash (as a nn; Pokemon)
--Atton (Knights of the Old Republic II)
--Boaz (the Percheron trilogy)
--Carth (Knights of the Old Republic)
--Caspian (Narnia)
--Cecil (ReBoot)
--Cyrus (ReBoot)
--Daniel "Danny" (Danny Phantom)
--Enzo (ReBoot)
--Ezra (Phoenix Rising)
--Felix (Golden Sun)
--Gavin (ReBoot)
--Giacomo (Baten Kaitos)
--Giovanni (Pokemon)
--James (Pokemon)
--Jesse "Jess" (Bridge to Terabithia/Gilmore Girls)
--Leopold (Kate and Leopold)
--Lloyd (Tales of Symphonia)
--Luke (Tales of the Abyss/Gilmore Girls)
--Magnus (Baten Kaitos)
--Moses (Tales of Legendia)
--Paris (ST: V)
--Phoenix "Nick" (Ace Attorney)
--Pietro (Tales of Symphonia)
--Seth (Illusion of Gaia)
--Tobias (Animorphs)
--William "Will" (Illusion of Gaia)

Okay, so I guess a lot of the time it isn't necessarily that I would name the kid AFTER the character; more that I would give my kid a name that reminds me of something I particularly enjoyed. I pick up names from outside sources a LOT.

What about everyone else? What are your favorite fictional character names?
