As a fan of the "Hellsing" manga and anime, Alucard has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. It has such a distinguished feel to it! Unfortunately, because the original bearer isn't exactly the best namesake to have, I could never use the name (not even as a middle name). I mean, I could, but I wouldn't want to risk my child possibly being taunted by his peers once they find out that Alucard is actually Dracula spelled backwards. As such... alas, I suppose this name will always remain a guilty pleasure of mine, along with Lucifer. *sigh*

Kudos to your high school friend for having the guts to name her child Alucard, though! Now that the name has been used on a real live person, perhaps that will slowly pave the way to more little Alucards being born. :3
