I don’t know that we named our kids after them, but my oldest’s name was inspired by an Elvis Costello song (tho misspelled as I didn’t bother to check the album), my son has the name of a very popular cartoon character, and my daughter shares a name with a character from Gone with the Wind (no, not Mammy)!
Chelsea and SpongeBob?
Dude.
Oh my god, please tell me you didn’t name your daughter Alison.
FYI the character’s full name was Kaywinnit Lee Frye
Brian
Rat Chef!
I knew a kid named “Rhett Butler” in college, and he behaved like any kid named “Rhett Butler” would behave - like he’s been teased his entire life.
If it’s a popular/well-known fictional character, my recommendation is don’t do it.
It also means “Son of Soldier”, which doesn’t really fit with the gender it’s currently being applied to. 
As did apparently every third set of parents that year. :rolleyes:
Seriously? well, I suppose it could be worse. Could’ve been after this one:
Alternate, Deleted joke: Jace, stop milling your brother!
2nd Alternate, Deleted joke: Good thing they didn’t have twins. Naming them Urza and Mishra is just asking for trouble.
Oh! Nein! 
My sweetie’s two boys are named Aramis and Logan.
No, I don’t think it’s a coincidence. <3 Musketeers, X-Men>
I have a daughter named after a fictional character. The book isn’t altogether uncommon or unknown but not super popular and it’s over 100 years old. Very few people recognize the name at all. In fact it gets mispronounced sometimes because it has a double l and we live in an area with a large Mexican immigrant population. They want to pronounce it with a “Y” instead of the L sound.
I have not had any reason to regret the name. I like it. She likes it. She doesn’t get teased and if anyone gives me grief about naming her after a fictional character I can also say she was named after my grandmother, because my grandmother’s middle name was the same. It works for us.
The best advice I can give is that if you do choose to name a child after anyone, be it fictional character or real person, make sure you like the individual. Most children really don’t need to hear “well the guy’s a horrible person but we liked the name.” Kids don’t want to be associated with that kind of negativity for the most part.
I’m going with Chelsea, Daffy, and Prissy
“Seven” isn’t all that outlandish. My seventh child, a girl, is named “daughter seven”.
(In Hebrew. Batsheva.)
Excuse me. but Medusa kicks ass.
Cassandra? Actually a lovely name, but tells a daughter no one will ever take her seriously.
Pandora? Don’t forget to give her the middle name Eve to underscore that all the ills of the world are due to women.
Medusa? ‘Medusa’ says “Step back. Now. And I don’t even need an exclamation point.”
But definitely middle name material.
Yup. For the one, it was either going to be Jace or Sorin.
(I voted for Omnath Novablast Lastname, but I’m only the kid’s uncle and was overruled. :D)
Wendy is recorded as a given name in the United States in the early 19th century, and probably existed as a natural contraction of Gwendolyn for some time before that.
I hope she never finds out about this. Or alternatively, that she never actually listens to the lyrics of the song.
Howabout Thor or Dracula ?
Or perhaps Rain Man ?
