After the release of the 2015 mega-hit Star Wars: The Force Awakens, 2016 saw an uptick in babies called Finn (like John Boyega’s Stormtrooper-turned-hero), Daisy (as in Ridley), and Harrison (as in Ford). Star Wars movies have been influencing names for decades (born in 1979 with the middle name Luke, I can personally attest to that), so clearly the new generation of characters from a galaxy far, far away introduced in The Force Awakens and returning this week in The Last Jedi will leave their imprint on young Padawans.
