If you want to hear (name), then watch (movie/tv show)

General Name Discussion
1

I’m always curious how my favourites sound being pronounced by various people with different accents, in sentences and conversations rather than just on their own.
Therefore I’m always looking for movies & tv shows (even audiobooks) that include my favourite names.

I thought of using this thread to start a collection of names and movies/shows/audiobooks in which they appear and in which you can hear them being said by actual peopler rather than just computer voices.

In the post below you can find the collection so far, I’ll add all your suggestions, for more details on how to post, just look there!

I hope you enjoy this thread and may it be helpful to you in the future :slight_smile:

  • You can either add sources to already existing names, add new names and sources or simply do both!
  • You do not need to add episode or season info though it would be helpful (in the end, if there is no further info, one could always google “show” + “name” and probably find the episode they appear in)

For names such as Sam or Alex, please include the gender, same for Game of Thrones names!

s = season, e = episode, audio = audiobook, occ. = occasionally; movies or entire series I’ve left without additional info

HTGAWM = How To Get Away With Murder; Miss Fisher’s = Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, GoT = Game of Thrones

I know I’m forgetting a lot of good names…

A good idea but some of the names on Tv many people don’t hear clearly, one can also search different names that comes with meaning here Baby Names and Name Meanings - Babynology

@charlesokoku
I don’t think the “not hearing a name clearly” is true as people obviously know the names of characters and searching names and meanings is very different to the idea of this thread!
