Dogs named after characters...

Just had a chat with a neighbour about my wallies, she loves them and wondered where we have been (isolated with kc!!) and she asked where I got Deacon's name from and I said "Oh its after a character from the film Blade, played by Stephen Dorff" She looked a bit bemused!!! I love vampire films you see So I wondered if any of you also named your dogs after characters or famous people??
