Obviously, like I said there's quite a few lol.
In my top 25 lists:
Bedivere - Arthurian knight, and grew up on Arthurian stories and love them
Bram - Bram Stoke, an author I really enjoy
Corvo - name of main character in Dishonored, a game I love
Eben - name of main character in 30 Days of Night, a comic series I love
Leon - a family name I wasn't overly fond of until I played Resident Evil and met the character of Leon Kennedy
Logan - Definitely swayed by Wolverine, was more 'meh' towards it before
Owain - another Arthurian character
Remy - another family name I was ambivalent towards until Remy LeBeau of X-Men
Ronan (Ronon) - definitely swayed by the character Ronon on Stargate: Atlantis
Eseld - form of Isolde, another Arthurian name
Itonia - chose it as a name for my avatar in The Secret World and have grown to love it
Lenora - another fam name, grown to love after watching Being Human starring actress Lenora Chrichlow
Lyra - from, of course, His Dark Materials
Other:
Aramis and Athos - the Musketeers
Calhoun - gave it to a character in a story of my own and grew to love it
Clint - grown on my because of Clint Barton "Hawkeye" of the Avengers
Cordelia - of 'Buffy'
Delsin - main character in game series I love, Infamous: Second Son
Idris - Idris Elba
Indiana - Indiana Jones of course
Ksenia - Ksenia Solo, an actress on Lost Girl
Kynareth - the name of a goddess I like in the game series The Elder Scrolls
Robin - Robin Hood
Sif - from Thor
Aragorn, Arwen, Eowyn, Tinuviel - obvs from Lord of the Rings
Barnaby - grew on me after reading The Dark is Rising series
Ichabod - from Sleepy Hollow, really the show more than anything has warmed me to it
Jubilee and Rogue - two favorite X-Men of mine
Neon - a favorite singer
Nilin - the main character in the game Remember Me, which I liked
Percival / Peredur - Arthurian names again
Remus and Sirius - from Harry Potter
Yvain (Yvaine) - a main character in Stardust by Neil Gaiman
On the flip side, some names have been ruined to me. Like Malachai and Mordecai for example.
