Have you named your child after a sci fi character?

Have you or do you know someone who has named their child after a sci fi/fantasy character? What is the name and why did you pick that name?

I have 2 beautiful daughters named Jadzia and Arwen. I am a big fan of Star Trek and LOTR as well, but I was also looking for a not-so-common name for my daughters. I loved the characters and thought the names were beautiful. So lets see if I'm the only crazy person in the galaxy to do this......

 

I named a cat after a Star Trek character.

 

I named my cat Starbuck. No people, though.

I did decide a few years ago that if I ever have a son, I would like to name him "Scaper," after Farscape.

 

My nephew was named Drake after Drake Burroughs (Wildfire of the Legion of Super-Heroes).

 

I named my dog Moya.

 

I called my car Spike. He's black - like Spike's leather duster, and evil - because of his fuel consumption.

 

Not yet, but I'm working on it.

My strategy is to suggest SciFi related names without letting on about why I like them.

 

My friend has a cat called sparta, so when anyone asks it's name they reply 'THIS IS SPARTA' 300 style

 

I did think about naming my cat Aerith, but I don't have a cat.

 

jamestyler has a daughter called Ezri. She's a wee cutie too.

 

My own name (first/last) is shared with an actor who portrays a well-known genre character.

 

That is the funniest thing I have ever heard!

 

A friend of mine called his son Lando

 

I named my daughter Illyanna, after Colossus's sister.

I tried to name my first son James Tiberious, but my wife vetoed me!

 

I named my dog, a Basset Hound, Jean Luc Picard

 

No, but I have cats named B'Elanna, Seven (of Nine Lives) and (not sf, but Austin Powers) Foxy Cleopatra

 

Not a character, but in elementary school I had a classmate (probably born c. 1968) named Nichelle Nicholes or Nicholls or something. I would imagine there was an upswing in African-American girls named Nichelle in the late '60s, but she had the advantage of a nearly identical last name.

My dear departed cat Natasha was named by her original owners after Natasha Fatale from Rocky & Bullwinkle, but I kept the name because of Tasha Yar from TNG.

Back when Robotech was on the air, I thought that "Miriya" was a lovely name, so much that I'd consider naming a daughter that if I ever had one.

 

My ex-roommate named her cat Callie, after the character from Battlestar Galactica.

She said it was because the cat was whiny, needy and suffered from mood swings.

 

That is just wrong.....getting vetoed....damn
