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've been thinking about using the combo David Addison Lastname for a son, but I really like Addison for a girl, but it has become way too popular for me. I like David but it's not one I adore like some others. If you don't know where David Addison comes from, he's played by Bruce Willis in the show Moonlighting. It was an 80's comedy show.

I think that sounds really nice, but Addison is super popular now, and David is kind of blah.

Addison technically means "son of Adam" it's a sucky name for a girl to begin with, though it's incredibly popular. I'd rather see Addison on a boy, though I'd best prefer it to disappear from the naming world, except if it's used out of respect of a family member.
