Haha, gumbo, I always thought Topanga was the ugliest name ever. I hated "Boy Meets World."
I want to name my daughter Sutton. I know it's not from a show, but I love that name.
I also want to get a dog and name it Barbra Streisand for some reason. Either that or Liza Minelli.
One time, Patti LuPone punched me in the face...

Pet names I've toyed with the most are Enjolras, Guido, and Guiseppe... Fabrizio's a close call too.
Alas! No pets.

Regina for my daughter. (named for the Play and Movie "The Little Foxes" and the Opera "Regina")
A role that Tallulah Bankhead, Bette Davis, and Patti LuPone have all played (my heroes, what can I say?) and I think it's just gorgeous.
Theatre is a safe place to do the unsafe things that need to be done.

Posted: 1/23/07 at 9:46pmAww raviolisun, you hate Boy Meets World? So sad. I didn't think anybody hated it. Sutton is definitely a cute name.

Posted: 1/23/07 at 10:21pmIn 1988 my family got a cat and named her Eponine. And she's still alive!

Posted: 1/23/07 at 10:53pmI always wanted to name my daughter Eponine, but will probably not follow through on that. Though, I am getting a hamster soon and it has already been dubbed Elphie or Fiyero (dependant on if they give me a girl or a boy...if I can even tell...)

If I happen to get a poodle someday (or if not, a cute, little baby teacup dog), I will name her Liliane La Fleur. (from "NINE")
I also like the names Clara, Anne (ALNM), Claudia, and Rose.
callbacks: anita and rosalia, "west side story"

After reading this thread, I am so getting a fish and naming it Caractacus. Just because... you can do that to a fish.
I fear for many of your hypothetical future children, however.

I wanted to name my gerbil Eponine when I was 11, but my mom thought it would be to weird to say, "Katie, did you remember to clean out Eponine's cage?"
Other than that, not really. I plan to name all of my future pets after gay icons

I'm having three little girls and naming them :
Jenny
Sally
Fantine
After my 3 favorite whores in B-way shows. Jenny Diver, Sally Bowles and Fantine.
I'm ever so kidding. I'd like to name a black and white kitty Sally Bowles. Just for fun. and I want a kitty. Not that unique though, lol.
I don't WANT to live in what they call "a certain way." In the first place I'd be no good at it and besides that I don't want to be identified with any one class of people. I want to live every whichway, among all kinds---and know them---and understand them---and love them---THAT's what I want! - Philip Barry (Holiday)

Posted: 1/24/07 at 12:26amI work at a place that hosts parties for kids. One birthday girl was named Cosette. Needless to say she got special treatment for her name.

"Has anyone ever thought of naming their kid Topanga?"
I wanted to name my dog Topanga but I was out-voted.
I'd probably like to name pets Roxie & Velma though...
