** Marilyn, Adrienne, and Heather share their first names with Marilyn Burns, Adrienne King, and Creator/HeatherLangenkamp, the lead actresses from ''Franchise/TheTexasChainsawMassacre'', ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'', and ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'' franchises respectively.
** While Dani is an {{Expy}} of Laurie Strode, she seems to be named after Creator/DanielleHarris, who played Laurie Strode's daughter Jamie in ''Film/Halloween4TheReturnOfMichaelMyers'' and ''Film/Halloween5TheRevengeOfMichaelMyers''.
** Julia shares her surname with Creator/NeveCampbell, the lead actress from the ''Scream'' franchise, and she got her first name from ''Series/PartyOfFive'', where Julia Salinger was Campbell's StarMakingRole that led to her getting the lead role in ''Scream''.
** Lynnette is a more obscure example. There is no FinalGirl in the movies that inspired her massacre (which may also be a nod to the running insult that Lynnette "isn't a true final girl, but a victim"). However, her name seems to be an amalgamation of two characters from ''Film/SilentNightDeadlyNight'', the victim Denise, who is played by Creator/LinneaQuigley, and the villain Mother Superior (the abusive nun who Ricky and Billy hold responsible for their murders), who is played by Creator/LilyanChauvin.
** Dr. Carol is named after the academic Carol J. Clover, who wrote the seminal ''Men, Women, and Chainsaws: Gender and The Modern Horror Film'' that popularized the term FinalGirl and argued for her as a feminist icon.
