So every once in awhile some parents decide to name their kid in reference to a movie, book, game, or tv show. However it would seem to me that it's not until whatever it is has sort of slipped out of societies eye. So what I'm getting at is when do you think we are going to see our first Neytiri or our first Cortana?

I bet we've got some in South America or Africa: there poor people tend to put names of what they see on TV or cinemas. For example, I met a Colombian girl called Iloveny (for those who don't get it, Iloveny = I Love NY).

I think naming a child is a bit too 'far'. Now a pet or an animal....Put it this way, if I get another dog, it's going to be called Seze.

If I have a little girl, I'll name her Neytiri instead of Violet. I usually think about names for important things from time to time. Whenever someone brings it up, I think back. Neytiri sounds so much more eloquent than Violet, plus it'll give me good memories.

My only worry would be that they would google their name and "oh look I'm named after a 10 foot blue alien" or something like that.

Hopefully they would be proud of that. I would if my name was Jake. Also, it's worth noting that if they find out who they're named after (Neytiri), and the first thing they think is "oh god no" you've failed as a parent. Even if your little Neytiri doesn't even like Avatar (or the way the Na'vi look), they shouldn't be as shallow as not to notice all of Neytiri's wonderful personality traits.

You could call your son Jake?

lol, I google myself and find I'm named after a retired Nascar driver. I know how it feels.

I know several people named Jake that I hate, and it seems to common.

I would never name a child after a movie character. I think that just sets the child up for teasing from other children.
