Dominic is on our list of boy names :)

Part of me likes the name Temperance because of the character on Bones, but I plan on using it for my next cat and that is it.

Totally a cute name. I would probably lean toward pet name over baby name too, but still.

I absolutely hated the name Ariadne before seeing this movie (I even commented as such in this very community; thought it was horrible), now I'm a little in love, and it goes with my Greek mythology thing.

I added Shoshannah to my list after Inglourious Basterds, though that's not the spelling in the film. Lois, Clark and Alexander after the Superman characters. Veronica after VMars!

Kahlan

Song of the Lioness books:

Alanna
Delia
George
Daine

I have never been able to imagine Ariadne working on someone outside of a Greek myth until seeing Inception (and I have to say, I loved the nods to the mythological story in the film).

Dominic, Robert, Peter, Maurice, and Nash are all favorites of mine. I was particularly pleased to see the latter in use.

I was thrown off when looking at the IMDb after the movie and saw that Mal was short for Mallorie. The whole time, I'd been assuming it was Moll, short for Molly (or Mal, short for Mali).

My favorite movie and tv show characters:
Anne
Gilbert
Kevin
Scotty
Sodapop
Daphne
Ian
Matt
Jenna

As for the names I like in my favorite movies and TV shows,
I actually like most of the names on the above list, though I'm not sure I'd use most of them because of the fandom correlation (and I would never use Sodapop, because there's no way a real child could pull it off like a character can)
I remember using the name Kitty as a child (probably around 10) in a story I wrote. My sister thought it was a dumb name and uber trendy. She found out when she got older that it's in Pride & Prejudice. (Though when it showed up in Brothers & Sisters, I could say, "See, I didn't make it up.")

I love the name Balthazar (with a nickname of Balty), but can't imagine it on anyone but Balthazar Getty. If I were to use it, it would probably be for a pet.
