Found this oddity in a charity shop. It's fantastic - a book of baby names such as expectant parents often consult, but all SF-inspired. So conventional names have suggested SF characters given (Ellen for Ellen Ripley in Aliens, Susan for The Doctor's granddaughter), and there are sections for SF names proper. T'Pring, Jor El, even Jabba or Mxyzptlk are here for the consideration of the geekier parent-to-be. The kind of person who thinks; "Qui-Gon! that's a nice name. Or maybe Slartibartfast...".
I found it quite readable on a bus journey, both to see "have they thought of..." (they mostly had), and for a lot of "who'd name their kid *that*?" moments (the examples above aren't the worst).

I found this book amid the dinosaurs in Crystal Palace park. My girlfriend and I spent a pleasant half hour while she tested me on my ability to recall the film or TV show from which each name originated. Hopefully some other Luke or Leia (or Pavel or Nyota) will find it useful should they chance upon it on London Southbank, where I intend to leave it on May 4. (May the 4th be with you, you see?)
