Arguably passes for the one line when Wolverine's girlfriend Kayla tells her sister to lead all the mutants out, she has to stay there and die tragically.

Sister is named in IMDB, but I'm not sure if I remember her name from the movie!

That's the feeling I got from the IMDB--they link the character to another movie where she's more fully fleshed out I assume.

Don't think it counts if the name's not in the movie, though, do you? Not positive they did or not, just because it would be so easy to slip a name in there when they're talking about her in scenes. (Part of the reason I think naming should only count if in movie!)

It totally should not count unless a character's name is actually in the movie.

I don't remember hearing the sister's name either, but since she only had two or three lines that's not surprising!

Emma Frost? I haven't seen the movie, but she's supposed to be in it, and I heard they cut out all of her powers except for the diamond skin.

Ahh, color me space cadet. Pretty sure they only called her Emma in the movie, nothing else.

Sorry, clarify: I do think I remember Kayla calling out "Emma!" at one point, during the escape. So, I think she's named that much at least.

Oh yeah, if that's the case, then it definitely counts as being named in the movie!
