Names scarred by movies

I've never known anyone to name a kid from a movie or book, and I wouldn't say that names are largely related to those since it depends on what names people have encountered in a book. I haven't read Twilight so I don't know anyone besides Bella, Edward, and Jacob. I typically associate names with other people. "Edward" is my cousin's middle name so I think about it in relation to him. It probably depends on where one hears the name first. The names I attach to books or movies are the ones where I first heard the name and if it's become iconic to the book. "Bella" I think of twilight because I've rarely heard it before, and "Ishamael" makes me think of Moby Dick with the whole "Call me Ishmael" thing. The rest of the time they are just names attached to a person like any other name, except the person happens to be ficitonal.
Tea?
