Would you name your child after a TV character?
If you said yes, you are not the only one.
Every year, thousands of children are named after TV characters, and for those of you out there asking, “Who would do that?”, don’t be so quick to look down your nose at the concept.
For soon-to-be parents, there are so many names to choose from that the decision can get a little overwhelming, and the pressure to get it right comes from family and friends, coworkers, acquaintances, just about everywhere.
The truth is, you will never make everyone happy when you choose a name for your child so you might as well choose something you and your partner love, and if your inspiration is a character on TV, then so be it.
And know that you’re not alone.
Take the Game of Thrones trend.

Companions have left the Doctor on their own accord or met a much more tragic end.
Some stories we saw on screen, some we didn't.
Doctor Who: 19 Times Bad Wolf Connected the Doctor and Rose Tyler
Here are some Doctor Who companions and characters we believe should have another go in the Tardis, or perhaps healm their very own spin off! Spoilers, they aren't all investigative journalists with robot dogs.
1. Luke Smith: K9 and Co Luke Smith: Sarah Jane Smith's adopted son in The Sarah Jane Adventures. Grown from DNA by the Bane, he's not fully human and would be a big target for aliens on his own. He shared adventures with Sarah Jane and his mates, Maria Jackson, Clyde Langer and Rani Chandra in the spin-off show, which was sadly canceled after the untimely death of Elizabeth Sladen. He has the brain of a million humans and...

Earlier this week, John Barrowman got Doctor Who fans in a flurry when he revealed that he’d chatted about a potential movie with former showrunner Russell T. Davies which would star himself, David Tennant and Billie Piper. But is this really happening? Or are Tennant and Piper at least aware of the Captain Jack actor’s idea?
Well, it seems not. Tennant attended Galaxy Con in North Carolina this weekend with fellow Who star Catherine Tate and a fan couldn’t resist asking the Tenth Doctor and his companion about the truth of this story. After Barrowman’s claim was told to them, Tennant and Tate were clearly oblivious to any talks.
“I think that’s one John started himself,” Tate quipped.
Tennant then added a cheeky tease, saying: “It doesn’t mean it’s not true.” He also joked that Barrowman may actually be making the movie on...

For a show that’s all about regeneration and change, Doctor Who fans sure do like wishing that old favorites would return. But that’s only to be expected when the revived series has served up so many amazing characters. And, as it is does feature time travel, there’s no reason why the Doctor can’t bump into a familiar face once in a while. In fact, if it were up to fans, there’s one face (of Boe) that she’d meet first.
Radio Times ran a poll asking folks to name the character from the show they’d most like to see come back. Nearly 2,000 people voted and the answer was unanimous – John Barrowman needs to return as Captain Jack Harkness. A whooping 38% of those polled are fans of the dashing Time Agent, far beyond the number that voted for second place – Catherine Tate’s Donna Noble,...

It’s been nearly a decade since she last appeared on the show, but Catherine Tate hasn’t stayed away from the world of Doctor Who for good. Since 2016, she’s been reprising the role of Donna Noble opposite David Tennant in Big Finish Productions’ The Tenth Doctor Adventures audio drama series. In her next outing, however, Tate will be going at it alone, meaning Donna will be the star for once.
Big Finish has announced that a new boxset titled Donna Noble: Kidnapped! is on its way. The four stories will see the Doctor nowhere to be found with Donna left to pilot the Tardis by herself and go around saving the universe in his stead. She’ll even get her own companion in the form of Nat (Niky Wardley), who’s described as “everything Donna isn’t – a career woman, happily married, successful, and confident.”
For those who care about continuity,...
