"I can't help but think that it's an unfortunate custom to name children after people who come to sticky ends. Even if they are fictional characters, it doesn't bode well for the poor things.

If we must name our children after literary figures then we should search out happy ones, although it's true they are much harder to find."

-- Kate Atkinson
