[QUOTE="Kristivas, post: 3219623, member: 34179"] Yes, I'm guilty of naming my kids out of fantasy/sci-fi. My son's name is Jaden Alexander. Jaden was a name I first heard on Star Trek: TNG. Data used it as an alias. After that, one of my first and most beloved DnD characters was named Jaden. After THAT, I did chat-based role-playing on AOL and my main character was named Jaden. So, I said screw it. I'm naming my first son Jaden. My wife pondered arguing, but just gave up. Then, our daughter was born. We picked Trinity Amber. A few people said "Trinity? Oh, after the Father, Son, and Holy ghost, right?" I smiled and nodded, immediately bringing up the Matrix in my head and chuckling to myself. By then, standing there smiling and breaking into a chuckle, people were looking at me strangely.. but bleh on them. I HAD to pick out some different names for my kids, though. When I was in first grade, there were 5 other guys named Chris in my class, and 1 Christina. Every time someone called me "Chrissy" that year, they got punched in the nose. Incidentally, it only happened twice. :P I guess another thing, my and my kid's middle names all start with A. Since my last name is Moore, our initials are CAM, JAM, TAM. Coincidence? Hmmmmm..... (my wife shot down the name Jonas for a kid before we knew Trinity was a girl. In retrospect, I'm glad I didn't stick a boy with that name.) [/QUOTE]
