HelpRe: Benjen
in reply to a message by mirfak
I would LOVE to meet a kid named Anakin. He just wouldn't be my kid ;)
We have considered Rilian, Aravis, Troia and Caspian seriously though - so I probably shouldn't joke about print and media characters being used IRL.

Same here. But, I think in general Anakin is about as "usable" as Benjen (I just like Anakin a lot more). Because I think it's such a statement to use a name that is original to contemporary pop culture. It seems enough like saying you want your child to strive to be like the character, that it's kind of funny. Lighthearted rather than ridiculous, I guess. Too lighthearted a naming style for me personally.
What's Rilian from?

Prince Rilian is the son of Caspian (King Caspian). He is first introduced in my favorite Chronicles of Narnia book ever, The Silver Chair.
His mom is a star (named Ramandu).
I'm pretty much a fan of most of the names C.S. Lewis uses in his books.
J.R.R. Tolkien too.
... and the writers of Star Trek.
