I like [name_f]Hermione[/name_f], but not because of [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] [name_u]Granger[/name_u], because of the dark academia yet solid but also a bit of elegant vibe it gives me.

I enjoy [name_u]Arthur[/name_u] and it is my favourite name; thanks to [name_u]Arthur[/name_u] [name_m]Kirkland[/name_m], a character of a manga/anime/musical series I loved as a child.

I also learned to re-love [name_u]Abby[/name_u] because of [name_u]Abby[/name_u] from NCIS
For me, there’s a difference between names I like because of a character that I wouldn’t like/be aware of/have a connection to otherwise and names that I like that characters happen to have (eg. [name_f]Alice[/name_f] of Wonderland fame; [name_u]Florence[/name_u] in Alcottian lore; [name_m]Wilbur[/name_m] the little piglet; even the hymnal [name_f]Beulah[/name_f] belle)!
