Of the boys names, Atticus (at number three) is a character in To Kill a Mockingbird, Silas (number six) is from Vampire Diaries and one can guess as to why parents would want to name their son Beckett (soccer player).

Some of our readers shared their thoughts on naming children after fictional characters, including some parents admitting they already had.

Dean Robert Gregory said he named his son Xander Harris from Buffy (the Vampire Slayer) and his daughter Kalami from McLeods.

"I named my son Atreyu like the boy from the Neverending Story, although, I was more naming him after the band," Tara Louise Philippi said.
