Members Khan Posted July 24, 2018 Members Share Posted July 24, 2018 My mother says that a former colleague of hers named her daughter Heather Brooke, after Heather on GH and Brooke on AMC. ("Which is ironic, since she was a Y&R fan," I replied. Mama Khan didn't get the joke.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr Neil Curtis Posted July 24, 2018 Members Share Posted July 24, 2018 Good Soapy name too! I was named after Brandon Capwell on Santa Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted July 25, 2018 Members Share Posted July 25, 2018 Noel is a male name that has hardly been used. Love of Life had a character in the 50's and Edge in the 70's and that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franko Posted July 25, 2018 Members Share Posted July 25, 2018 Regina, anyone? I always thought it'd be the perfect name for an OTT diva. If memory serves, though, Gina on Santa Barbara wasn't short for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted July 25, 2018 Members Share Posted July 25, 2018 That's pretty cool that you were named after a soap character. Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRfan23 Posted July 25, 2018 Members Share Posted July 25, 2018 I guess I’m thankful I have a soap name too, (Taylor) but I definitely wasn’t named after the Taylor on B&B even if my mom watched back then, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted July 25, 2018 Author Members Share Posted July 25, 2018 Has there been a popular character who has gone by the name Anastasia? That just screams soap to me. On soaps, it’s usually shortened like Quint’s daughter Stacey on GL or Ana on Y&R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted July 25, 2018 Members Share Posted July 25, 2018 It sounds a lot like a name that would've been used on Passions. I do appreciate their deliberate attempt to use names that were not common on soaps. Valerie and Esme are my favorites. I know ATWT had a Valerie in the 70s, but have there been any other major Vals (not looking at you, Mrs. Ewing...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members beebs Posted July 25, 2018 Members Share Posted July 25, 2018 Valerie Grant on DAYS is the only other one I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted July 25, 2018 Members Share Posted July 25, 2018 Or on any of Ron Carlivati's shows. Followed with the last name "Beaverhausen." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted July 25, 2018 Members Share Posted July 25, 2018 Nah, that last name would be reserved for a character named "Levita," and yes, Tony Dow and Ken Osmond will join the cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
