Rowanbrook, you should try searching the archives; I'm sure this 
topic as been discussed before. Additionally, this isn't really an  n 
topic discussion - have you had a chance to join HP4GU-Chatter? Lots 
of OT (off topic) things are brought up there - it's an interesting 
off shoot of this group. If you check the files group, you'll find 
information about what gets discussed here and what gets discussed 
there.

And as for naming a child after a character - I personally think it'd 
have been cool if I'd been named after a beloved literary character 
from one of my parents' favorite books. If it seems a bit fanatical 
to some, so what? All my favorite people are fanatical about 
something. IMO, it's much more interesting to name a child after
a character that means something to you than to simply choose a name 
from a baby book.

Best,
