In this topic, I’ll list potential names for a future daughter that has been used for a famous book and/or movie (series). Please give me your opinions on whether they’re usable or not!
Bellatrix I’m on the fence with. It would be a big, bold name anyway, even without the character connection, and for me the character definitely renders it too much. However, I have seen it used and it has a wonderful sound and meaning that I can totally see working for the right family.
Luna is totally usable, it’s so popular nowadays that I barely associate it with Lovegood anymore. [name_u]Harley[/name_u], [name_f]Coraline[/name_f] and [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] are also very much usable. [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] would be a brave choice, but I don’t think it’s completely unusable. [name_f]Bellatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Mulan[/name_f] and [name_f]Merida[/name_f] seem too bold to me.
Mulan might seem a bit strange if you’re not Chinese or [name_f]Asian[/name_f]. I would say for a white Westerner it’s probably not usable or advisable. Regarding [name_f]Bellatrix[/name_f], the negative character is a bit of downer but I think the name is still usable.
Korean, actually. I’m planning to move to Seattle sometime soon. I thought [name]Mulan[/name_f] is a beautiful name when the movie came out (even though the remake is disgustingly awful).
