You know you have a problem when one of your categories in your list of names not to name the baby is "Characters on Buffy The Vampire Slayer".

I actually like the name Willow, but I seriously doubt that any child of koyote and I is going to end up being willowy.

Anya is ok, too.

Buffy is right out, though.

...avoiding names of characters in popular TV shows or current movies is not a bad idea, especially if you don't want you child to be one of 6 - 10 *other* Buffys or Angels or whatevers in hir class. Having grown up going to Catholic schools where every other boy was either James or Joseph and every other girl was some variant of Mary- (Mary-Ann, Mary-Catherine, Mary-Elizabeth, etc.) I made a conscious effort to give my children names that avoided that syndrome. I did a great job with Kirsten and Stefan. David has always had at least one other David in his grade, if not in his class - and Amanda - well, her best friend is also an AManda - need I say more?
