Kirk, after Captain James T.

She watched A LOT of TV while carrying me! (I’m named after another TV though…)

My brother's middle name is Keaton after Micheal Keaton. Our mom went to see Batman 1989 in theaters when she was pregnant with him and loved him and the movie so much that she made that his middle name.

Also yes, my brother grew up to be a massive Batman fan.
