I understand the appeal of naming a baby after your favorite fictional character. When I was a tween, I was convinced I would name my future baby after one of the non-Cartman characters in South Park. Now that my frontal lobe is fully developed, I understand that explaining to people that my son Stanley is named after Stan Marsh wouldn’t be ideal. I know many people who are named after fictional characters and love it. My college roommate, Hallie, was named after Hallie from The Parent Trap, and it fits her perfectly.
