I was once in the same social circle as a guy named Legolas, although I never actually met him myself.

Apparently that was his actual name. His parents were evidently big Lord of the Rings fans.

I knew a girl named Kira after the officer of the same name on Deep Space Nine.

I ran into a girl named Kira at an anime convention a few weeks ago. In that context, the name brings something very different to mind.
