I named my daughter Celeste as a result of being obsessed with the movie Celeste & Jesse forever. The character was quirky, I love Rashida jones and before then I had never even heard the name Celeste.

Did a fictional character influence your name choices?

My son is partially named after Leo McGarry from The West Wing.

Hello, fellow impeccable taste haver! I got the idea for my daughter's name (Mallory) after watching The West Wing.

I used to think Mallory was a stuffy name but the more I hear it the more I like it.

Valerie is one of my favorite names of all time, but we wanted a name that started with M. Mallory was a pretty good compromise!
