    Names in movies

    Have you taken a name from a movie for your child? Ok, so it was a few Barbie shows that DD and I were watching, but there were some really nice names! Different names that aren't too out there, but really lovely! Some I heard in Barbie that I liked:

    Elina
    Azura
    Merliah
    Calissa
    Eris

    What were/are the names you've liked from a movie/cartoon?

    Well- i actually loved the name Cameron since I was a teenager- but it helped alot that one of my favourite actors (which i actually don't know why- just love most of his movies) is Nicolas Cage and one of my favourite movies of his is ConAir- and his character name in the movie is Cameron of course.

    And Joshua is also another name I've loved for a long time- but I'm a huge fan of U2- so it helped that they have an album The Joshua Tree.

    My nephew is named Memphis after a character in a movie. I can't remember exactly which one but I think it was either Gone in 60 Seconds or Fast & Furious.

    It would be Gone in 60 Seconds - another Nicolas Cage movie (well the more recent version anyway). I think I would actually consider Memphis if we have a 3rd boy.

    I like the name Jasper - which yes, comes from the Twilight movies

    I've always liked Savannah, but even more so since watching Dear John

    I could probably go on for about 20 more names but I think I'm in need of more coffee to help me think of them...

    Good thread lilias

    I've had my future children named for years. I'm not to keen saying the names before the babies are born...something about people taking them and using them worries me (because i think they are awesome names - obviously other people might not think so, but i still worry about it) anyway...the point is, my 2nd sons first name is from a movie and my 2nd daughters first and second name are from 2 different movies. =)
