Any objections to moving this to Trix MacMillan, in line with Charley Pollard, Dodo Chaplet and Peri Brown? (I won't propose moving Melanie Bush because Mel Bush strikes me as aesthetically unpleasing) --khaosworks (talkcontribs) 01:57, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

I agree, especially as she may or may not be Patricia MacMillan anyway --TimPope 10:34, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure of the best way of phrasing it, but there should be some mention of the name being a probable reference to Patricia "Trillian" McMillan in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Daibhid C 16:40, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Has this been cited/confirmed anywhere? --khaosworks (talkcontribs) 22:39, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Confirmed or not, if it wasn't intentional it's a hell of a coincidence. Given the Douglas Adams/Doctor Who connection, I think we could find a wording that notes the near-identical names without saying anything about intentions. —Josiah Rowe (talkcontribs) 06:07, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
I agree. I'm going to go with the possibility that the name's a homage to HHGTTG, and have added a small paragraph mentioning the possibility. No, it's not 'fact', but I think it's a pretty reasonable proposition. - 207.67.145.193 18:01, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
