HEE. ;) Here are some pets named Starbuck and Apollo. What have you named? Your car? Your iPod? Pets of your own?

Hehe and since I teased you, some actual HOT PILOTS ACTION:

Anders was on my list for a long time, but it got a twisted look of confusion when I mentioned it as an actual name. Samuel made it to the top 4 names for my son, though really it was the top 3 (of which we used two) and then at, like 7 Samuel.

So uh... does that count? Renaming a part of anatomy for my personal use?

Umm, yeah.

I think it's a great name! (And Samuel too, actually) And just so you know, ALL of my boys have names that people give me odd looks for. Yes. They are all REAL names (all Swedish names, actually) but that's what happens when you've taught as long as me. Every 'normal' name has been taken (by students). LOL

My Norse names were almost all just a little too much. I'm a huge name nerd and have a special fondness for odd but totally legit names. I save them for stories. ;)

I do not envy teachers when it comes to naming. Too many associations. I would die.

I love odd names too but I can never think of good ones for boys! Inquiring minds (who are thinking about having a baby in the next year or sooooooo) would love to know what you named your son(s)...;-)

Neither of my kids names are all that out there, more quirky.

I'm a name nerd and I'd love to know which names you went with for your son(s)!

Sweet :) Sam is my father's name, so I'm partial to it.

I don't name things after my fictional peeps too often (although when I was a kid I named every hamster I ever owned after characters from The Princess Bride. Hamster Fezzik and Hamster Inigo didn't last long, but Hamster Buttercup hung in there for years, even though eventually we realized that in order to be anatomically correct we should switch the name to Hamster Wesley. It didn't stick, though. He'd been Buttercup for too long).

But I seem to accrue fictional associations in real life to a somewhat alarming extent. My husband's first and middle names are, I kid you not, "John" and "Watson." I have been in love with the fictional John Watson since I was, like, eleven. What are the odds on that?

Sadly, my real name is not Sherlock Holmes. But still.
