Actually, the vampire child from Interview is what had me choose the name Claudia, because that Claudia's one of my favorite characters (and one of the few that isn't a total slut, might I add). The middle name Beth is also from an Anne Rice book; Mary Beth Mayfair being one of my favorite Lives of the Mayfair Witches character, as Claudia is my Vampire Chronicles favorite.

I'll try to get my copy of Interview back at some point and lend it to you then.
