Twilight baby names–ridiculous or…really ridiculous?


Stephanie Meyer has some strong words for people who are naming their daughters after a fictional character in her Twilight triology.  Upon learning that Renesmee has become a popular baby name among fans, the author says, “That really disturbs me.  I am someone who strongly believes in reality, and that you don’t monkey around with people’s names. Whether they become a stripper or a lawyer has a large part to do with the name you give them. I would never name a real child Renesmee. But in fantasy, you can name your characters anything you want. I couldn’t have named [Bella and Edward's] child Lindsay.”

What do you think of Stephanie Meyer’s comments?
