Have you ever wanted to name your hypothetical child after a literary/television character?

Because I always wanted my son’s middle name to be Atticus. Not his first name, though, because I wouldn’t want him to get beat up on the playground.

Those kids would obviously have no idea what a cool name Atticus is. I love that name.

Remember The California Diaries? I always liked the name Amalia because of them.

Kimbertsmusings informed me this week that not only will I be having a girl, I will be naming her Small Anne Cordelia.  I’m not sure that’s gonna happen, but I am going to be pulling for Anne-with-an-E as a middle name if we have a girl.

“with an e” is one of my interwebby names. I am named after a character in a song, and my brother is named after the hero of a Leon Uris novel. I’m all for it.
