[name_f]Do[/name_f] any of y’all (oh, look my southern’s coming out) have names that will never be anything or anybody but one thing or person. This is sponsored by the fact that [name_u]Johnny[/name_u] will forever be tied to Outsiders for me.

[name_f]Claire[/name_f] will always be a girl from a book called Cages of Glass, Flowers of Time. It is a generic enough name, I suppose, to be found almost anywhere but it’ll always be tied to her, in my mind.
Lyra will always be Lyra Belacqua for me (but in a good way!)

[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] will always be [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_u]Pevensie[/name_u] (I have more variety of associations for the other siblings’ names)
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] will always be the Russian duchess, but specifically, the animated version 
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] will always be [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_m]Bennet[/name_m] which means I struggle to like it 
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] always reminds me of [name_m]Alvin[/name_m] and the Chipmunks, and this is a big problem because it’s so so popular and one of my close friends used it for her youngest and his dad is called [name_m]Simon[/name_m]

[name_u]Dean[/name_u] & [name_u]Sam[/name_u] (m) will always be Supernatural
Also, off topic, does anyone care if people use f & m (female & male) or not? I’ve always used them because I’m just the type of person that does that. Possible whoops?
And I LOVE IT!! 
Dallas is Outsiders, 100%, and Sophie and Keefe are KOTLC. Also, Laurie and Dan will always be Alcott books, even though I know a bunch of Daniels.

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] will always be the one from the Chipmunks because there is where I first heard the name.
[name_u]Laurie[/name_u] / [name_u]Laurence[/name_u] will always remind me of [name_u]Laurie[/name_u] from [name_m]Little[/name_m] Women
And I sort of (not very much) associate [name_f]Jane[/name_f] with [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Eyre[/name_f] since I never met or heard one actually irl
[name_f]Wednesday[/name_f] is obviously Addams (in a good way, love the character) and [name_f]Enid[/name_f] now will always be her friend, the werewolf
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] now will always be [name_u]Jo[/name_u] [name_u]March[/name_u] and [name_f]Joséphine[/name_f] (spelt this way) [name_f]Joséphine[/name_f] Beauharnais
