This is something that I was saying in one of my other discussions.....that a lot of popular names become popular because somebody on TV has the name. For example Isabella was popular around the time they was a Character names Isabella on Days of Our Lives. Also Emma became really popular after Ross and Rachel's baby was born on friends. Sooooooo, I was just curious if any of you named your children after someone famous or a character from a tv show / movie? Do you knoww of any one that is name like this?

My mom and mother in law are both named Shirley after Shirley Temple. I have a friend who named her daughter Emily Elizabeth because of the way it sounded, and didn't find out until afterwards that she's the girl on Clifford. :)

My little sister was named Randi after the name of the woman cop on Chips. I believe it is the woman's real name though not her TV name.
