      People have been choosing made up names from fiction for hundreds (thousands?) of years and as far I know, no one has died from it yet. Jessica is just a character from a play.

        I get the sentiment but “Loki Skywalker” and “Jessica” are far from comparable even if Jessica would have been viewed in the same light 500 years ago.

          If Luke hadn’t run from responsibility in tertiary canon it’d be fine but honestly it’s just a bad combination in terms of nominative determinism.

      Should have named him Luke. It’s a perfectly normal name, it’d fly under the radar. But youd still have named him after him.
