One of my neighbors named their daughter "Stormy" after Odd Thomas's >!dead!< girlfriend. When I asked him if he and his wife were big fans of the books, he said that they'd never read the books before. But they'd seen the movie.

He told me this several years ago and it still annoys me to this day.
