Definitely gets violent but that doesn't really bother me. The seasons can be a little slow to start but it sucks you in pretty quickly. The 5th season this fall will be the last. :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boardwalk-empire-anyone-watch#post-1668107 Fri, 30 May 2014 08:46:39 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1668107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We loved this show then fell off the bandwagon. I've been meaning to catch up -- I'm at least three seasons behind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boardwalk-empire-anyone-watch#post-1668078 Fri, 30 May 2014 08:42:31 +0000 Canoli 1668078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we love it but agree with @bananapancakes that it gets more violent each season. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boardwalk-empire-anyone-watch#post-1667816 Fri, 30 May 2014 07:20:46 +0000 mediagirl 1667816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: Me too. Did you watch the finale? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boardwalk-empire-anyone-watch#post-1667739 Fri, 30 May 2014 06:03:23 +0000 yoursilverlining 1667739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love it. My favorite character is Richard Harrow (the Tin Man!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boardwalk-empire-anyone-watch#post-1667726 Fri, 30 May 2014 05:48:56 +0000 BananaPancakes 1667726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We watched it up until this season. I don't know why we didn't start back up this season, but it had gotten increasingly violent last season and it just kind of turned us off. We can deal with a graphic movie here and there, but watching a blood bath every week gets old. Other than that it was fantastic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boardwalk-empire-anyone-watch#post-1667705 Fri, 30 May 2014 04:13:30 +0000 mediagirl 1667705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Such a great show. It seriously just keeps getting better and better each season! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boardwalk-empire-anyone-watch#post-1667583 Thu, 29 May 2014 23:13:52 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1667583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH just turned this on, so we're watching the first episode. I know nothing about it - has anyone seen this? Any good? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naming-children-and-tv-showsmovies/page/2#post-396439 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 08:43:34 +0000 Chastenet 396439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was horrified when I watched Twilight for the first time the other day and saw that one of the main characters is named Alice. I really hope people don't think that's why we chose DDs name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naming-children-and-tv-showsmovies/page/2#post-396431 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 08:39:48 +0000 bpcmarj 396431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: That's my nephew's name. He's almost 2:) Pretty sure they got the name from him, too!</p> <p>Luckily, DHs obsession with Boy Meets World did not transfer to baby names. In other words, our daughter is NOT named Topanga! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naming-children-and-tv-showsmovies#post-396368 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 07:41:26 +0000 ValentineMommy 396368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: Lol, I haven't, but I will have to look it up now!!!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naming-children-and-tv-showsmovies#post-395390 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 14:36:02 +0000 DillonLion 395390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ValentineMommy: (NERD ALERT) Have you ever seen Battlestar Gallactica? There's a character on that show that is so similar to Desmond. They even look the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naming-children-and-tv-showsmovies#post-395387 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 14:34:46 +0000 ValentineMommy 395387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: It's true, but he WAS the failsafe to save the world! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naming-children-and-tv-showsmovies#post-395314 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 14:11:24 +0000 DillonLion 395314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: @anonysquire: YESS. The names on that show are so good. Claire and Penelope were totally contenders for our LOs name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naming-children-and-tv-showsmovies#post-395311 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 14:10:27 +0000 DillonLion 395311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ValentineMommy: Hopefully he has a little bit easier of a life than that character! Poor dude got so messed up in that show! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naming-children-and-tv-showsmovies#post-395310 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 14:10:03 +0000 DillonLion 395310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always wanted to name a son Gabriel after Heath Ledger's character in the Patriot...but DH wasn't a fan of the time so we probably won't use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naming-children-and-tv-showsmovies#post-395306 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 14:08:59 +0000 ValentineMommy 395306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We totally did. We loved the character (and name) from Lost - Desmond. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naming-children-and-tv-showsmovies#post-370602 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 17:46:16 +0000 JamieLee 370602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think there are so many names that will have some association for someone that you really can't get around it! Whether it's a tv, movie, or book character, or a celebrity or athlete, it's a big possibility. </p> <p>I really like the name Virginia/Ginny, and I'll be honest, I first liked it after reading Harry Potter! But what can you do, right? If you like it, you like it. </p> <p>Also, lots of people ask me if I'm named after Jamie Lee Curtis...I think they're joking, but maybe not... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naming-children-and-tv-showsmovies#post-370470 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 16:19:24 +0000 MK0180 370470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Belle from Beauty and the Beast 1. I like the simplicity of the name and 2. DH said I remind him of the character since I would LOVE to have a library like that one day!</p> <p>I also like Hiro from Heroes :) Sylar is a pretty cool name, too although he is a not-so-nice person for most of the show. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naming-children-and-tv-showsmovies#post-370454 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 16:05:51 +0000 anonysquire 370454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: it's a great show to be obsessed with! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naming-children-and-tv-showsmovies#post-369004 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 06:28:51 +0000 Shutterbug 369004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: I love so many names from Lost: Claire, Charlie, Jack, Sawyer, Penny, Desmond, Charlotte, Miles, Eloise, Frogurt (kidding). I think if I suggested a name from Lost DH would veto it on principle because he thinks I'm obsessed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naming-children-and-tv-showsmovies#post-368989 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 05:38:06 +0000 anonysquire 368989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh and I guess I did name my cat dexter after the tv show. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naming-children-and-tv-showsmovies#post-368985 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 05:35:31 +0000 anonysquire 368985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After watching lost I loved the names sawyer, Desmond and penny. After watching gossip girls I loved Blair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naming-children-and-tv-showsmovies#post-368862 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 00:07:26 +0000 erinpye 368862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: Haha, that's funny! Thank you! I love the name, too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naming-children-and-tv-showsmovies#post-368081 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 15:02:54 +0000 littlebug 368081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a name on our short list for baby boy that isn't from a tv show or movie, but he's an athlete. He's not a super popular athlete, and the majority of people probably wouldn't make the connection, but enough people would (and would say something about it) that I'm really nervous about actually using the name. It's Braylon, like Braylon Edwards. He plays for the Seahawks now, but he played college at Michigan, which is my team, and I loved the name back when I first heard it when he played there. It's not like we'd be naming our son "after" him, but the name was definitely inspired by him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naming-children-and-tv-showsmovies#post-368038 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 14:41:49 +0000 shopaholic 368038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinpye - LoL! DH is of that generation. I asked him what he thought of when I said "Sloane" and he thought of "Dazed &amp; Confused" and then "Ferris Bueller" two of this fave movies! I think its a super cute name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naming-children-and-tv-showsmovies#post-366995 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 22:31:30 +0000 Mrs squirreld 366995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the comments! :-) you are all right though - I don't think it's THAT popular show for people to associate the name with it.... By the time we get a BFP we will probably hate it! Lol</p> <p>I also agree with a PP... The song thing is always something that sticks... Which also sucks because I LoVe the name Alice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naming-children-and-tv-showsmovies#post-366954 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 21:21:45 +0000 erinpye 366954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is named Sloane and people a bit older than we are do often ask if it's after Ferris Bueller's girlfriend in the movie. It's not, but my husband gets tired of it, so he simply says, "yes," or, "that's what people of YOUR generation think, but she's named after a character on Entourage." (Also not true.) It doesn't really bother me. There are lots of associations people are going to have with names, whether it's from TV shows, movies, books, or people they know/ knew. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naming-children-and-tv-showsmovies#post-366865 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 20:10:02 +0000 Mrs. Pen 366865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: I fell in love with the name Quinn a la Glee!! I loved Quinn as a character even though she wasn't nice all the time.</p> <p>I have ALWAYS loved the name Serene/Serena and then Gossip Girl came out; then I fell in love with the name Blaire. I would totally name my DD Blaire despite GG :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/naming-children-and-tv-showsmovies#post-366856 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 20:05:02 +0000 Mrs. Bum 366856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We sort of did. June from Walk the Line...and we are big Johnny cash fans. So, now we have our own lil June! </p>
