Named after a character

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

What do you guys think of naming kids after characters, middle names included?

Ex. Say Mr and Mrs Johnson are having a baby boy, named Harry Potter Johnson (but obviously something less mainstream), or if they're having a girl, Rory Gilmore Johnson.

Because I've recently begin to obsess over the Kill Bill movies, and I think it would be really nice if I were to have a kid named Beatrix Kiddo DiCaprio (because, you know, me and Leonardo are meant to be). Anyway, what do you guys think of it?

Tacky, cute, or meh?

PS- The character, Beatrix Kiddo is strong and isn't wimpy and delicate, so I figure it could have positive associations. And in twenty years or so, kids her age (and people my age) won't immediately think 'AHA!' if it were Harry Potter or something.

Maybe if it were a book or movie that has been extremely influential. . .over the long-term.

Sure, if that book means a lot to you!

Right; so not a thing where I like the name for a couple months.
A couple years, maybe.

You really don't want to call your kid Holden Caulfield.
Holden is kind of a crappy name anyway ;)

I was just toying with characters.
I think Holden's okayyy... but definitely not one of my favourites.
