    LOL which nasty cow? Aunt March or Amy? I wanted to call DD Meg or Amy from Little Women but DH didnt like the names.

    I didn't name DD after a character but loved Bold and the Beautiful at the time. I was even watching it while I was in heavy labour with her, she was born shortly after the show finished. I called her Brooke but not after Brooke from Bold.

    on the topic of twilight all the names are pretty good especially the girls bella, alice, rosalee, esme all very pretty names and the boys too Jasper, edward, carlisle, emmett, jacob, charlie so even if u did name ur kids after them it would be hard to tell

    We named DS Jasper and it's coincided with Twilight popularity, but I swear, I've had the name picked since I had DD1 11 years ago!! Truly!

    I was named after a Frankie Valley and the Four Seasons song, but I was originally going to be named Samantha after Elizabeth Montgomery's Bewtiched character, does that count? Our eldest DS is partly named after the poet Adam Lindsay Gordon.

    I know a few Trinity's that were born after the Matrix came out, one Summer after the Neighbours character, a Scott after "Scottie" from Star Trek, plenty of Aaron's after Elvis, my second brother was named Jason after Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th - mum is a die hard B grade slasher flick fan , my sister Katie was named after a caterpillar in a kids movie called Katie the Caterpillar and even wanted to call my 3rd brother Damien after the character in the Omen movie series but we managed to talk her out of that one.

    I know someone who called their girl 'Kyah' from the character in the movie Willow...

    My sister is Samantha because of the Cliff Richard song!

    I have a friend named Demelza, her mum named her after a book character.

    We didn't name our DD after Tori Spelling, but she was all in the news around the time I had her because her dad died within a few days of me having her- then the freakiest thing was she was in the news again not long before I had DS because she had just had her little boy, who is coincidently named Liam as well- wierd!

    My name is Amy. I think I would've decked my parents if they had've called me March.

    our ds2 is named after a song that my dh was in love with at the time- 'Jimmy Rickard' and a footballer that i think is a cutie-'Jimmy Bartel'. we both came up with the name seperately and for different reasons so decided it was a winner.

    my parents got my name from the movie 'number 5 is alive' ...anyone remember it? its pretty old (well it is for me, considering I was born in the 90's)
    anyway, number 5 is a robot who is in love with a woman called Stephanie and he follows her around saying 'stephanieeeeeeeeeeeeeee'. my big brother at the time loved the movie and used to copy the robot and my parents decided if I was a girl, then that would be my name.

    Well DD2 is named after a character from The Mummy (don't tell DH, but that is where I got my like for the name from). DD1 is a Simpsons name, but not really inspired by the show, it may of had some influence though.
