I was looking at fictional names in the real world like how we have real people named Hermione and such and that's a character in Harry Potter......

I love the name Aloy in Horizon so went down a bit of an Aloy rabbit hole looking things up and found this

Hemione is a 'real' name irl. It's not common, but predates Potter by a millennium or two.

Wendy, however, was invented as a first name by JM Barrie.

Yes I first heard her name because of a local TV reporter who I liked Hermione Kitson, but I think it's the Potter books that made it more popular

How about Madison?

It existed as a male name (which is why the 'son' part) but it exploded into being a female name thanks to the movie Splash, and has become an accepted female name without even the hint of any "from a movie" baggage.
