Nerd inspired names?

ChelsiAnn13

So DH and I usually try and think of names inspired by people that means a lot to us. But we have been having a hard time with girls names as you all know.

I keep coming back to the name Lilliana. NN lily. Do you think I would be stretching it to much to suggest it's a nod to Harry potter's mother. Lol XD maybe it will make him like the name. He shot it down a long time ago but maybe e forgot about it.

How to the sibset Evangalin and Lilliana sound?

Anyone else have names that were inspired by nerdy things. Lol

I love Lilliana! Great choice!

We actually like the name Kate Evangeline, but I would be afraid people would think we were crazy LOST fanatics. I've actually never seen the whole series. My H has and loves it.

Liliana is pretty.  My favorite Potter name is Hermione - my DH refuses to use it for a middle name but I love it!  I also like Luna.

Great suggestions! Love freya, Serafina, Artemisia and Athena the most and sadly all have been vetoed.

I think my nerdiest names are...

Dorothy Alice - big wizard of Oz fan (which is part of the reason I love Ruby - she will actually have a Wizard of Oz nursery), and Alice is from Alice in Wonderland of course. I love the pairing of the two names.

Atticus - LOVE his character in To Kill A Mockingbird.

Harrison - My son's name. In addition to it being a family name, I love Harry Potter, and my H loves Star Wars and Harrison Ford.

Witches of east end is where I first heard freya, I admit. Love that show. And to kill a mocking bird is why I love the name Atticus! And an Alice in wonder land nursery would be amazing. I have, what looks like, a giant toadstool table and chairs for Eevee's room, that would be perfect for that theme.

I like folklore/archaic religion inspired names which is kind geeky. I am also way into ethnic names (preferring I stick to ethnicities in our families which between the two of is is a lot).

As far as geek pop culture goes I really like Eowyn (on someone else's kid) from LOTR, Athanasios (as a MN only) bc of Thanos of the the Marvel universe (and my obsession with Greek culture due to aforementioned interest in archaic religion and folklore), Myrna is on my short list due to my love of old movies (Myrna Loy). Vincent is also top (mn) pick due to celebrities (Price, Van Gogh, Furnier).

As for Lilianna, I am not a fan. I like Lillian and Lily but with a DD already named Evangelin I would look at other options. Even though the actress is not a mega super star, her name is catchy and sticks in people's mind.
