Naming your children

[B_elk123]

If I end up with the guy I am with now then we'll probably have a daughter named Alice since that is his favorite book of all time.

Has anybody named their children after a favorite character from a book?

No. It would have to be a very special name. I do see a lot of people doing it though.

Haven't given this topic much thought, but something unique and nothing too out of place will do nicely.

I actually really liked the name d'Artagnan from The Three Musketeers but I would never name my son that. Ever since the series Game of Thrones has started on HBO there has been a surge of little girls named Arya! I'm sure there are a few little girls names Cersei and Sansa out there as well!

I plan to name my daughter 'Aries' - but right now I'm only sixteen xD so that might change

No, I haven't, but I've heard of people naming their children Katniss (from the Hunger Games).

Neither one of my kids was named after a character in a book. I was accused of naming my son Dalton after Patrick Swayze's character in the movie "Roadhouse". That was not my intention.

Well, not a book, but I have a classmate whose father named her Zelda after the video game.

I have found names in books that I like, but cant say that I named a child after them.

[ConnectiveStardust]

Not yet, but I most certainly will be. My husband has already agreed.

My best friend was almost named Galadriel but according to her, her father thankfully intervened.

No, I don't have children. When I do, however, I might consider naming them after book characters.

[TrishaAnn92]

No, it has never occurred to me to name my children after any characters. My husband though chose Aubrey because of Audrey Hepburn.

[Lady_Phantom]

My ex husband named his Daughter after a character In the Wheel of Time Series by Robert Jordan. I have named pets after characters, but do not think I would name my child after a character.

All my favorite characters have very fantasy names- Fiyero, Rand etc. Although I may give my child a weird name- just to teach them that the world isn't fair, right from the get go.
