Yep. I'm named after Karen on Frosty the Snowman. My mom was verrrry pregnant with me at Christmastime and my Dad picked it while they were watching Frosty with my siblings.

I carried the tradition on to my daughter Alyson, who is named after Alyson Hannigan a la Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

I'm named Michelle like every girl in the 70s. I named my son Logan...no reason why...

Hey all!

So I have a question...does anyone else have a famous namesake? My name is Jerrica, which is pretty weird in and of itself, but the best part is that I was named after a hilariously bad 80's cartoon called Jem and the Holograms. Synopsis for those of you who aren't familiar: this is a show about a girl named Jerrica (that's me!) who puts on magic holographic earrings and turns into the rockstar Jem, and then she and her bandmates get into all sorts of crazy trouble. Just wondering, is anyone else named after something crazy???

Jerrica

That is outrageous....

Truly Truly outrageous.

Oooo good thread, my name is actually Clark which every time I introduce myself or I am on a list of names people say 'oh like Superman' but I was actually named after Clark Gable which I love :happy:

Jerrica! That's awesome. I loved Jem!
We named our daughter for Kaylee from Firefly.

Jesse. As in Jesse James. I guess my mom had a thing for him.

Nope not named for anyone (Emma is very common!) my mum wanted to call my Leia but my dad said no, kinda glad!
I do share my name with a character is this awesome looking movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066518/ (The Vampire Lovers) :laugh:

If I ever had a daughter, I'd name her Luke....just like Tim and Daisy

Ooo I had a friend called Blake, his brothers were Kirk and Luke, lot of win in that family!

my name is cara.. my mom just liked it, i don't think she got it from anything.

my kids :

damien (yup, from the omen!) but was almost julian or ethan (guys from passions, the soap opera) i only picked damien once i saw him, he just looked like one.
middle name michael (yes, michael myers) and also his dads uncle.

i love horror movies ;p

dominic (but was almost miles jonathan davis, after, yes, miles davis and johnathan davis lol)
middle name alexavier. i wanted to name him xavier, but everyone said no..
my friend suggested alexavier for me, and its very unique, i love it. i wish i used it for his first name.
i got dominic from my friend dominica and a cute boy from high school named dominic.

if i had kids NOW, their names would likely be more geeky. although if i had another boy i think dimitrie would sound good.
damien, dominic, dimitrie. just kinda flows.

I named my daughter Diana after Wonder Woman. I'm named after a certain actress who played Wonder Woman on TV in the 70's, so I thought it would be fun to name my daughter kind of after myself, too. ;-)
