#WordWeavers Day 21: Are your MCs named after anyone of significance in their world?
Angel's legal given name is María Milagros, which is one of the names of Mary in Catholicism.
Jessie Nakamura's parents are Star Trek fans. Her middle name is Keiko. She is not specifically "named after" Keiko (née Ishikawa) O'Brien, but her parents did get the idea from hearing her name, and will admit it. OTOH, Jessie's older brother, George, *is* named in honor of George Takei.
