I hope you all are as excited as I am for the new Harry Potter movie!
While reading the "Baltimore Sun", I came across a really interesting article about an actual man named Harry Potter. I think that it is neat to share a common name with a character from a world famous novel. In this article, the "real" Harry Potter talked about how he receives numerous phone calls from young kids who think that he is the Harry Potter from the movies. He seemed to have a good sense of humor for he did not get upset after receiving these frequent calls.
Reading this article reminded me of Heath Ledger since he was named after Heathcliff from the novel "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Brontë.
For me, I feel content with "Brooke", but I would not mind being named "Juliet". One of my favorite Shakespeare plays is "Romeo and Juliet." Both Juliet and Romeo go through so much pain in order to be together. I would want to be named after Juliet because I feel that she displayed a lot of courage and followed he heart. I wish that I was more courageous, therefore, I would proudly take her name.
I was wondering if anybody else wished that they were named after a character from their favorite movie or book. Does anybody have a friend or family member named after a fictional character?
Let me know :)
While I do not personally know anyone who has a name from a book or movie, I also saw that article about the man named Harry Potter in the Baltimore Sun.
ReplyDeleteWhile I admit, I am a huge Harry Potter fan, I feel bad for the man because, although like Brooke said he seemed to have come to terms with the situation and was nice to the teenagers who frequently called him, I can't imagine what it is like to have the same name as a famous character.
I personally would not want to share the same name with any movie or book character, because although it seems cool, I wouldn't want people to link me to a fictional personality. I think names are very important; my name describes who I am as an individual and I would not want people's first impression of me to be, "She's that book/movie character."
And YES, I am very excited for the new Harry Potter movie!
Edward Cullen, might highly increase my odds of getting dates. I'm fine with "Will" though.
ReplyDeleteHowever "Kealey" doesn't sound prestigious enough to hold an office such as President.
Sort of like "Huckabee"
