A new book, Sci-Fi Baby Names, offers 500 suggestions from the world of Star Trek, Superman, Dr Who and The Matrix.
If you are a Trekkie, there's Tuvok, after a Vulcan character from Star Trek: Voyager, or for a girl, perhaps Amidala, after Natalie Portman's character in the newer Star Wars movies.
Parents in Victoria have embraced names of characters from The Matrix and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
There have been 18 Neos, 133 Xanders, 273 Trinitys and 158 Willows born in Victoria since 1980, according to the Victorian Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages.
Trinity and Neo were both characters from The Matrix movies, while Xander and Willow feature in the cult TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Some parents just choose a name of their favourite movie or book character, actor, singer or sports star because they have qualities they admire or they simply warm to them. Sci-fi inspired names were becoming more popular because science fiction had become more mainstream. Male fans often wanted to name their children after famous sci-fi characters, but their partners usually stopped the idea.
Scott Liston, committee member of Star Trek fan club Austrek, said he had met a fan who called his son Damon Jean-Luc -- Damon is the Ferengi (an alien race in Star Trek) word for Captain and Jean-Luc is for Jean-Luc Picard, the captain of the Enterprise in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Mr Liston said if he had a son, he would like his middle name to be Tiberius, not for the Roman Emperor but after Captain James Tiberius Kirk (played by William Shatner).
Peter Jordan, the director of Australia's biggest Star Wars fan club, Starwalking Inc, said many fans had a fleeting wish to name their children after their favourite characters but settled on more conventional names.
"You've got to take into consideration that this kid has to live with the name for life," he said.
"If someone called their kid Jar Jar (after Star Wars character Jar Jar Binks), I think they'd have serious issues."
Mr Jordan said Luke (after Luke Skywalker) was on his baby name shortlist.
"And I jokingly say that if we ever had twins, I'd put my vote in for Luke and Leia."

Where Should Your Babies Name Come From
A person, place, or thing can become a serious question. As A baby born today is as more likely to be named Brooklyn or Jordan as to a Stacy or James. To be named after a place can be unique, or they can seem like a fad or simply just silly. So how does a parent simply choose whether or not to use the name of a place for their child, and where did this trend come from?
Well actually the use of place names is ancient. Where Leonardo DaVinci is a great example. The man’s given name was Leonardo, and DaVinci was a descriptive term to say that his father was born in the city of Vinci in Italy. Although DaVinci wasn’t a formal, given name, it does show that the idea of place names as personal names is not new.
The more recent trend in naming kids after places seems to have been sparked, as most naming trends are, by soap operas and celebrities. Dakota and Montana were big back in the mid nineties, but others have climbed up to take their spot.
But to tell the truth I would advise against place names. Then again there are a few exceptions to this rule by some names that have been accepted for several generations, or place names that started off as personal names. However, for the most part, place names tend to tie a child to a certain location, and if that location is Camden, New Jersey, you may want to think about it, cause that is not a nice place.
A huge no no with using places as names for children is respellings. If the name is a familiar place name, it will be pronounced the same way, regardless of spelling. But A new spelling can be confusing at best.
Following are place names categorized by my own personal standards.
