My dog is named after a Paul Simon song.
Our daughter is not named after a book but she shares her name with a popular children's book title.

I trust that someday my kid will appreciate being named Isaac Clarke Ellen Ripley PirateHearts.
(But no, not actually.)

My elder child's grandfather shares a first name with my favorite musician, so I got to stealth it.

Is it an actual "secret" that your significant other is not aware of?
My son is named after my favorite science fiction author's signature character, with his middle name being my favorite X-Man.

You joke but there was an old GAF thread where someone had a friend who named their kid Sephiroth...
Not a chance, but good guess. Mostly chose to be obscure to respect his privacy.
Oh, no, we just solemnly told the family we were honoring elders or some shit.

Very clever. I meant more pop culture stuff. But yeah, the actual Hebrew meanings of a lot of those biblical names are pretty funny. "Michael" for instance..is a rhetorical question - "who is like god?"..
(As far as I recall)
Now I understand those kids who went by their middle name in school.
Protect your eye.

So it's a boy? (Jk)..would love to know who your fave x- man is though.
Edit - Eric??
Yup, partly. My son is half-Japanese and we live in Japan so the first priority was giving him a first name that works in both English and Japanese. I've got two comic book characters that meant the world to me growing up and we incorporated those names to give my son his first and middle name. His first name is very common in Japan so he won't stick out with it. He doesn't have a middle name on his Japanese passport, but he does have one on his US passport. His middle name is Parker.
I don't think the question mark is part of it. Or at least it's not clear, and the archangel Michael's name both implies that he's the most like God and also that no one is like God.
On thread topic, though, I guess Mission: Impossible, too.

Corn Snake
One of my friends is a big reptile person. Has a tegu from South America..i think. Has a rainbow boa as well. Seeing that snake in person was great. There really is a prominent rainbow effect going on with their skin.
My best friend named his daughter Aeris. She is now 18 and with the rerelease of the game I imagine she is getting a lot of talk about her name lol. And no, the mom didn't know it was from a videogame character.
One kid is from Field of Dreams, another from Catcher in the Rye, another from Anne of Green Gables, and the last from my sister's mind, after my wife and I couldn't come up with anything lol.
