Michelle Kothe asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

My children are Elli and Miles (born '95 and '98) ;-) It wasn't deliberate, but we realised after the fact that the reason we loved the names so much was probably because my husband and I are both huge fans of yours. I wonder if you know of many child namesakes of characters? I must say I would quite like grandchildren named Penric and Desdemona but I can't quite see the kids co-operating with that ;-)

Ayup, I've heard from a number of people who took inspiration from my characters' names. It's less alarming when it's pets...

Ta, L.
