  • I didn't see any in The Last Skywalker trailer, which made me unhappy. Chewie has one for a friend though, so I am hopeful at least one will be in the next movie!

            • For some reason my preschooler is obsessed with The Legend of Zelda. He tells everyone to call him Link. Today at the playground some kids asked his name and he said Link so I had to stand there and smile and pretend I named my kid after a video game character.

                I doubt you'd be the first. I met a woman recently named Ripley. Her parents were fans of the movie Alien.

                • Vanelope hit the charts after the original Wreck-It Ralph. Of course, long before that, J.M. Barrie's book Peter Pan introduced Wendy. And then, a goodly number of "traditional" names are Biblical or mythological.

                  • C'mon, you folks on the Book of Faces, CHECK YOUR STORIES before forwarding them. Came home tonight to see two.

                    First: "Nicholas Winton, Savior of Children During Holocaust, Dies at 106."

                    Yes, very sad. Also four years old.

                    Second: "'All in the Family' star Jean Stapleton dies at 90."

                    Yes, very sad. Also six years old.

                        Of course, long before that, J.M. Barrie's book Peter Pan introduced Wendy.
                        Not actually true. "Wendy" was known as a nickname for "Gwendolyn", and eventually a name in its own right, long before Peter Pan was published. It's listed in a number of census books and other books from way back when.
                        “There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
                        One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
                        The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers
