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.

I really don't like it when people name their kids after tv/movie/literary characters. It's just weird to me, especially if you give the poor kid that character's entire name. Beatrix itself would be ok, although it still makes me scream "fangirl!" on the inside, but Beatrix Kiddo is really bad. =/

Alrighty.
Thanks for your opinion! :)
