Good idea. Establishing a relationship between your name and with some named thing of the real world: a TV series character, a city, etc.

I get your point but I like that you describe the name of a character in a fictional TV show as a "thing of the real world", as compared to the name of a coworker you speak with regularly. :p

Well, maybe "thing of their culture" would have been a more appropiate term.
