Can be from any kind of media.
For me it’s Margot from The Magicians (which is interesting because in the books she is anything but) and Jesse Faden from Control.
To me, this is one of the most fully realized female characters in science fiction (at least):
My fiancee insists that if we ever have a daughter that we’re naming her Aeryn. I’m fine with that. Hell, I’m the one who introduced her to the show lol
As a parent myself, might I suggest using that as her middle name.
When we named our two boys, we chose classic yet timeless names for their first, but did have some fun with their middle names. (and NO, they are not named “Ben” and “Will”. My god, I actually know 6 families that have two boys with those names). That way, we got to name them something fun, but they had good classical first names they could go by through out their lives. Our boys were born during the height of what I call the “din” period. Where a lot of babies have names that ended with some derivation of “din”, “dyn”, “den” or something along those lines.
There is a very good reason why there is an entire subreddit on that other site called “/r/tragideigh”.

True. I need to rewatch brotherhood. I was a OG FMA-anime fan way back in the day before I even knew it was based on a manga or that the anime just made up its own ending so it took me a while to even give brotherhood a chance.
I keep OG in my heart as well. The sequence in the penultimate (?) episode with the final transmutation circle was just dope, also some of the pacing and characters were more to my taste.
Brotherhood is … different, but has it’s own merits.
