Named after a character
Jan. 10th, 2007 04:03 pmWhat 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.
