Things that share real life names of things in movies

Catchy title eh?

So anyways, anytime I see something in Real life that is in a film or comic or book, it makes me chuckle.

Example:

The Uk Government emergency response meeting is called COBRA...and it always makes me think "Hang on, are they not the bad guys?!"

Also,  when I lived in Belgium, the telecoms provider there was called Skynet!
Everytime it went offline I started looking worried and telling people 'Oh no, its become self aware!!'

Any others?

We have a musician here whose name is Sarah Connor. As far as i know, she never had trouble with murderous robots from the future.
Might have named herself like that on purpose, though.

In the comedy Office Space there's a guy named Michael Bolton just like the real life musician.
