Hello,
Two of my favorite heroes are Valérian and Laureline or in english, Linda and Valentin, comic strip heroes, of course! Valérian comes from the 23rd century and Laureline from the Middle-ages. The interesting thing is that Laureline is a much tougher, much more reactive character than Valérian who is more the diplomat kind. They travel through space and time.
Apparently, both Valérian and Laureline have inspired parents to name their children after them. The first names were non existant until 1968-1969,(when they were created); now, Laureline (which was completely invented by the author) , there are about 100 per year!
