Hello all,

I just found out that I am pregnant with my first child and hubby & I are both very excited.

We are already talking about baby names and I'd love to come up with something from an old movie or an homage to a great director. I am drawing a blank right now, and hubby has already nixed naming our son "Orson".

I know you guys are all HUGE movie buffs and I wonder if you can think of any cool/unusual names from movies, Any era/genre film is fair game although I tend to love classic films from the 30's onward as well as 1970's films. (I also love 80's and 90's films, but I think I'd like to go for an older reference.) I love Hitchcock, Welles, Kubrick, Altman, Ford, Bogdanovich to name a few. I also have a love of James Bond films, through Roger Moore.

Lead or minor characters will work. One of my all-time faves is Gone With the Wind and I always liked the name of the character India Wilkes. But my husband pointed out there's a pop-star named India.Arie so we pretty much nixed that one.

I'd love to hear what you all come up with!
