Neil & Holly Gaiman, The Conversation :

[…] and then came Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side". You named me from this song, didn't you ? said Holly as the first bass notes sang. Yup, I said.

Lou started singing.

Holly listened to the first verse, and for the first time, actually heard the words. Shaved her legs and then he was a she…? He ?

That's right, I said, and bit the bullet. We were having The Conversation. You were named after a drag queen in a Lou Reed song.
