Names after characters

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

So I've become a total The Mentalist geek, gone, whoosh, totally obsessed with the show.
Just for fun, I thought I'd ask what you think of the names Lisbon for a girl and Jane for a boy. These are from the main characters, Teresa Lisbon (chief of the police unit) and Patrick Jane (the mentalist himself).

I've quickly grown to love how Lisbon sounds in english, although I'm not thrilled about it in the written form. And Jane on a boy, I can only picture that as a middle name, but I'm thinking maybe not too weird, considering how many actual girl's names were originally boy's names and so forth..

P.s. I'm in love with Simon Baker...

Jany makes me think of Firefly where there was a male character called Jayne. Suited him perfectly but in real life, not so much.
