I've loved the name Brooklyn since before it was a musical, but now that it is I would maybe name her after that. I also really like Logainne (from Bee) for a girl. I'm kind of into boys names for girls. It's early and I can't think anymore.

Umm...wow. I don't think I'll...uh...have children. But if, for some wild reason, I became pregnant, I do have a backup plan for naming my children.

A little off topic, but I LOVE Raul Esparza's name and Manoel Felciano's name too. So unque.

I agree, especially about Manoel's name. They also both have first and last names that happen to sound perfect together.

Others I like:
Adele (Jane Eyre)
Johanna (Sweeney Todd)
April (Rent and Company, probably others)

Boys:
Erik-POTO... the book actually, but I love that name.
Ra(o)ul- As a middle names, all my sons with have Italian middle names, POTO
Marius- Les Mis

Girls:
Christine- POTO
Mimi- RENT

I don't think I would give any of these names as first names... except for Erik, and maybe Marius. Who knows? But I only want one girl... for which her name will be Peyton.

Clara. Definitely - it's such a pretty name.
I agree with everyone who's said Johanna! It would be wonderful to know you were named after a song so that.

Boy: Nicely-Nicely
Girl: Elphaba

Do you think these kids would grow up with a complex? Of course, I have my naming consultant to thank... Gwyneth Paltrow.

Whatever name I pick for my child, I WON'T tell them it'a after a Broadway character, so they don't hate me forever, and I won't make it public, I dont need my son getting the crap kicked out of him after school because he's named after a broadway musical character. I would'nt be that cruel..............Yeah..........here's my son "El Gallo"..........now go beat him up

Well, I think a kid named "El Gallo" might run into some problems with or without knowing his name was from a show.

I don't plan on naming my kids after characters, but maybe a fish or hermit crab or cat or something.

Any future pets I may have will be named:
Ursula
Mrs. Lovett
Velma
Roxie
Bob (Fosse)
Gaston
Cosette

edit: my kids will have nice, normal names re: If you could name your child after a character in a musical...

I wanted to name my gerbil Eponine, but my mom said she'd feel ridiculous telling me to clean out Eponine's cage.

So it was named Sydney instead.
