A high-school friend of mine just had a baby named Arianna. This isn't that bad in and of itself (apparently it's a real Italian name -- not that she's Italian, but, you know, still a real name), but "Arianna" was also the name of her original fanfiction character back in the day, who was (if I recall correctly) the time-traveling daughter of two B- or C-team X-Men. In a world with thousands upon thousands of good, uncommon names, do you really have to name a kid after some random fanfic character you wrote in 10th grade? :smith:

It could also be that she just really likes the name and used the name twice rather than specifically naming the kid after the character.

Some people pick out their kids names at a very young age. I really like Abigail, Meredith, and Jeremy for potential names if I have kids and I can imagine being a teenager and using those names for characters because screw it those are cool names that I like.
