Did anyone purposely name their LO after a celebrity or character?

    No, but because we're huge Star Wars nerds, people assume we did.

    I REALLY loved the name Dexter, but DH thought it would be inappropriate considering the recent serial killer show! HAH. (I still liked it...)

    @Smurfette: our son's name is the last name of a historical political figure and we've gotten that question too. Nope, we just liked the name!

    Some of my favorite names are celeb inspired...

    Celine, Calista, Charlize, Vivienne (Jolie-Pitt), Blake, Alec

    I doubt any of these will ever make the cut.

    We didn't name DD after the few tv characters that are named Quinn, we just really like the name. I make the joke all the time I hope she doesn't become a pregnant cheerleader (Glee) or a self involved Vice President of the fashion club (Daria).

    In a way, yes. We were watching Mad Men during my first pregnancy and DS got his name from the business the main characters all work at. (At that point the ad agency was still just Sterling Cooper.)

    No, but we did get the idea for her nickname from HP We were struggling with a nn, so finding it was what sold us on her name. But she is not named "after" her, even though they both have red hair
