Real people named after SW characters

A few years ago I met a young man named Luke Sky Walker (sky was his middle name). His parents were obviously big Star Wars fans. I thought this was a one time occurance until my son came home from preschool last week and announced his new best friend was named Anakin.

I was curious as to how many people out there are named after SW characters and what names are in use?

 

Luc is my french name!

 

DoctorYoda: Your name is Luc, but did your parents' name you after Luke Skywalker?

I must admit, I named one of my sons Jason.

 

Well atually my name isn't luc. But I started taking french this year and we had to pick a name for ourselves. So I chose luc after luke skywalker.

 

i know this one guy who's named after ben kenobi.

 

I know somebody who named his twins Simba and Luke. I have a friend who named his little girl Leia.

I named my dog Padme, but that doesn't count.

I find the image of a little Anakin in a preschool histerical!

 

What is really cool is the Luke Sky Walker I was talking about is a graduate of the United States Military Academy (West Point) and I believe he is now an Army Attack Helicopter pilot (I kid you not).

 

My best friend's newphew's middle name is Anakin.

 

I used to call my step sister's cat Yoda. She called
him Raymond, the rest of the family called him Tiger.
That was one confused cat.

I plan on naming my Son Luke. Now all I need is a Wife
amd a Son.

 

I talked to a customer last month who's last name was Vader.

 

What is really cool is the Luke Sky Walker I was talking about is a graduate of the United States Military Academy (West Point) and I believe he is now an Army Attack Helicopter pilot (I kid you not).

That makes a lot of sense! I wonder if he turns off his targeting computer when he flys!

My cat is named Padme and a friend of mine around here has a cat named Nexu!

My wife and I plan on naming our daughter Mara Jade, when we get around to having kids that is!

I also seem to remember around the time TPM came out, some woman teacher legally changed her name to Obi-Wan Kenobi in order to win some contest. Don't know if she stuck with it though. ?

 

If I have fraternal twins (boy and girl) guess what their names are going to be... that's right Luke and Leia, if they are both boys then George and Lucas.


single names, Boba, Kit, Adi, Plo, Beru, Owen, Mace, Luminara,

 

Nobody is going to name their kid Jar Jar?

 

Hmm... it could be cool to have a kid named Watto.
If it's a girl, her name could be Mirax!


Watto and Mirax... that'd be neat.


Anyways, I know a certain gentleman who named his child Talon.

 

Not a full name but being called Alexander, one of my nicknames is Xan (aka, Xanatos)

Not that i really mind, i like my name

 

I also seem to remember around the time TPM came out, some woman teacher legally changed her name to Obi-Wan Kenobi in order to win some contest. Don't know if she stuck with it though.

I think she changed it back.

 

I think she changed it back.

What a wimp!

 

We had a black and grey tiger cat named Darth for a long time. He even loved chewing on plastic lightsabers (action figure sized).

 

I wanta name one of my kids (when I have kids) after a Star Wars Character....

~*I've got the power!

 

Poor kids. What child abuse.
