Very random, very awkward, and very comedic resident of Star's Hallow on "Gilmore Girls". Always seems to be an important member of every new odd committee that suddenly forms and has a different unusual job in every appearance on the show that makes him somehow coincidentally interact with the main characters.
In my opinion, one of the most lovable characters on the show (when I regularly watched the show, which I sadly haven't in a while, he was my second favorite character-- after Jess).
Kirk Thornton is a popular voice actor for anime and videogames, voicing characters such as Don Patch from Bobobo, Kisame from Naruto, Jet Link from Cyborg 009, Jin from Samurai Champloo, Saix from Kingdom Hearts, and many more.
I really don't like this "name". It sounds so ugly and harsh. And in Scottish dialect, it's just the everyday word for church. "Ye go to Kirk much?" is "do you go to church often?" in Doric dialect. (I'm not Scottish, but where I live people speak in a similar dialect, so I can understand a'that :P).
This is definitely an awesome name! I'm gonna have to add it to my list (: I think it's a really hot name probably because of my impression of any Kirk I've ever heard of has been really good looking and nice. Any how, it's a really cool and unique name, and I would definitely use it!
