Some names swap gender. I included names that were part of a title, so if there was a Duke of Jason, "Jason" and "Duke" would be included.

	My son, Banquo, will be severely disappointed.

	I was hoping Shylock might have made the cut

	I gave up way too early and didn't even guess Elizabeth...which is my name...

	You forgot Jane (as in Lady Jane Grey), which ranked at #384 according to your source.

	How about Robin (Puck's full name in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is Robin Goodfellow)?

	Colmar:	Jul 24th, 2011 at 06:01 GMT	10 points
	Tatiana and Oberon jokes aside, I am surprised that 'Portia' is not popular enough to be on this quiz!

	JulieD:	Jul 24th, 2011 at 09:05 GMT	10 points
	Well, at least no one seems to name their kid "Bastard".

	slamb:	Jul 24th, 2011 at 10:00 GMT	11 points
	I'm very glad that "Goneril" did not make the list.

	muse:	Jul 24th, 2011 at 10:28 GMT	2 points
	Wow i tried my 3 kids name and was surprised ross was there!

	zyzzyva:	Jul 24th, 2011 at 10:31 GMT	15 points
	i can't believe cordelia didn't make the list but "princess" did

	Poor Yorick didn't stand a chance.

	People call their kids Lennox but not Caliban! Outrage!

	Hamlet:	Jul 24th, 2011 at 13:02 GMT	4 points
	@RodeoJoe Lady Jane Grey isn't a character in Shakespeare.

	Hamlet:	Jul 24th, 2011 at 13:12 GMT	11 points
	In "A Midsummer Night's Dream," Bottom's first name is Nick. Surely that should be on the list.

	JacketFan:	Jul 24th, 2011 at 14:27 GMT	5 points
	I was sure Portia and Ophelia would be there.

	WCRoentgen:	Jul 24th, 2011 at 14:54 GMT	12 points
	Ckearly a much easier quiz would be to name Shakespearean characters whose names are NOT in the top 1000.

	I am outraged that I don't see Picard on this list!

	njb042:	Jul 24th, 2011 at 18:32 GMT	4 points
	I agree, Portia is far too good of a name to have fallen out of the top 1000.

	Chocolatl:	Jul 24th, 2011 at 22:55 GMT	1 point
	Justice? Really?

	M_C_HAMEL:	Jul 25th, 2011 at 00:13 GMT	3 points
	@itswhatiam: thats because its the names from shakespeare that are in the top 1000 names of all babies, not the top 1000 shakepeare names.

	Why is Lawrence a bonus? What am I not understanding here?

	midnight_dreary:	Jul 25th, 2011 at 00:31 GMT	3 points
	My fave shakespearian name is Ophelia. Kind of sad its not up there.
