Fictional Characters!

General Name Discussion
1

Okay this isn’t really a game, I didn’t know what category to put it but hear me out!!!

As a 20 year old that gets very attached to fictional characters (and some actresses), a lot of the names on my list come from said characters or actresses! I feel like I wouldn’t like a lot of my favourite names if I didn’t have the positive association of these people, so I wanted to combine these interests and make a list of character names and the show/movie they’re from!! Bear in mind not all of these names are on my own list for obvious reasons (I’m prone to liking the villains :joy:)

The (very short) boys list:

  1. Allen (Kill Your Darlings)
  2. Bill (Killing Eve, Mind Hunter)
  3. Draco (Harry Potter)
  4. Hannibal (Hannibal, Silence of the Lambs)
  5. Kenny (Killing Eve)
  6. Laszlo (The Alienist)
  7. Lucien (Kill Your Darlings)
  8. Maxxie (Skins)
  9. Rory (Doctor Who)
  10. Sherlock (Sherlock)
  11. Stanley (I am Not Okay with This)
  12. Will (Hannibal)

The (much longer) girls list:

  1. Alana (Hannibal)
  2. Alison (Pretty Little Liars)
  3. Amy (Doctor Who)
  4. Bellatrix (Harry Potter)
  5. Billie (Killing Eve)
  6. Carolyn (Killing Eve)
  7. Casey (Atypical, Split)
  8. Chiara (Baby)
  9. Chloe (My Mad Fat Diary)
  10. Clara (Doctor Who)
  11. Clarice (Silence of the Lambs)
  12. Dasha (Killing Eve)
  13. Dina (I am Not Okay with This)
  14. Elena (Killing Eve)
  15. Estella (Cruella)
  16. Eve (Killing Eve)
  17. Harley (DC Universe)
  18. Irina (Killing Eve)
  19. Ivy (Thirteen)
  20. Izzie (Atypical)
  21. Jade (Victorious)
  22. Kat (Spinning Out)
  23. Katya (drag queen)
  24. Lana (American Horror Story)
  25. Ludovica (Baby)
  26. Luna (Harry Potter)
  27. Margot (Hannibal)
  28. Marie (American Horror Story)
  29. Mary (American Mary)
  30. Millie (Free Guy)
  31. Missy (Doctor Who)
  32. Mona (Pretty Little Liars)
  33. Oksana (Killing Eve)
  34. River (Doctor Who)
  35. Sally (American Horror Story)
  36. Sara (The Alienist)
  37. Spencer (Pretty Little Liars)
  38. Sydney (I am Not Okay with This)
  39. Trixie (drag queen)
  40. Villanelle (Killing Eve)
  41. Wendy (Mind Hunter)
  42. Winter (American Horror Story)
  43. Yasmin (Doctor Who)
  44. Yelena (Marvel)
  45. Zoe (American Horror Story)

Actresses:

  1. Helena (Bonham-Carter)
  2. Jenna (Coleman)
  3. Jodie (Comer, Foster, Whitaker)
  4. Margot (Robbie)
  5. Sandra (Oh)
  6. Sarah (Paulson)

I know this is ridiculously long but if you also like fictional characters then feel free to comment your version!! I love seeing what TV shows/movies people like, and it’s an added bonus if there’s names involved!!

I’m not really a marvel gal but my brother made me watch [name_m]Black[/name_m] Widow and now I’ve just started Hawkeye purely for Yelena!! [name_u]Florence[/name_u] is great and I’m very partial to a Russian assassin :joy:

Yes!! What a joy it is to hear that! I got into Marvel after watching Black Widow this summer, and gosh if Yelena isn’t the best character in all those films/shows… :laughing:
