Use It vs. Don’t use It

Naming a child after a movie character? There’s a movie I love and I love the main characters name too. It’s a movie she wouldn’t be able to watch until she is a teenager. The name is a bit different but not completely out there (there’s also a celebrity child with the name). What do you think? Should I use the name?

Depends on what it is. Some celebrities give their children awful names, doesn’t mean you should too.

DON’T name her Olive. It’s Olive right?

I love Olive, I was thinking it was probably something like Apple. I know they’re both produce, lol, but Olive has been used as a name for a long time and sounds endearing. Apple is just awkward as a name.

I think it’s fine to use it. There’s a movie character I want to name my daughter after.

Novalee (played by Natalie Portman) from Where The Heart Is.

I fell in love with it when I heard it.

It’s Shiloh from Repo! The Genetic Opera

Shiloh is a beautiful name. I’d say go for it. There’s also an old song by Neil Diamond called Shiloh.

Yeah, it depends on what it is. I’m all for naming children after characters or people you admire, but if it’s a name that’s too heavily associated with the movie, it could come off as weird.

Shiloh is lovely. Go for it.
