Kyd's full name is Kyd Miller, and he has a big sister named Madelaine West btw.

I dislike the names on the whole myself, but I got to point out that they're called by their mns.

Kyd was named after Thomas Kyd, a 16th-century playwright (see here: http://snipurl.com/axmk). David admired Thomas's writings, apparently. Miller was David's mother's maiden name.

I don't know where West and Madelaine came from. I wish they'd spelled it Madeleine though.

Miranda (who wonders why the Duchovny kids didn't get episodes named after them)

Madelaine West is after sex symbol Mae West...

Although there is an Aussie actress and stand-up comedienne by the same name.

Yeah, I read an interview with her and she called her daughter Westie. Please, why not Maddie?

And oh, btw...

Piper Maru, daughter of Gillian Anderson.

Piper shares her full fn with an X-Files ep, that was made a long time after she was given her name.
