    Imogen is from a Shakespeare play, but it’s actually supposed to be Innogen but the first prints had a printing mistake and the name Imogen came into existence and the script with the error was reprinted for centuries. So everyone who is named Imogen is named after a typo.

    James Madison was the 4th president of the United States. Just saying.

        Apparently… Since Madison wasn’t a name before Splash in 1984.

    Tiffany was similarly not used as a first name until Tiffany & Co, and particularly Breakfast at Tiffany’s, the 1958 novel/1961 movie.

    The “Tiffany” from Tiffany & Co was a last name, and that owner was one of a handful of Tiffany’s in the world at the time of the founding.

    Yes, that’s literally what wikipedia says:

    Madison is also used as a given name. It has become popular for girls in recent decades. Its rise is generally attributed to the 1984 release of the film Splash
