Guess my first name

Guess my name. Here are some hints:

I'm a female. My name is a common name for a bird species. My first name is the same as that of a bird that Thoreau mentions in passing in Walden. It is unusual, but not a silly made up name --- a writer has used it for a dysfunctional character in one of her novels. Recently it's also been used for a dysfunctional character in a pretty mainstream film. The only solace I have in the face of this terrible PR is the fact that it is also the name of a legendary (shhhh) ....

[quote=Skyenets]In paragraph three of [url=http://thoreau.eserver.org/walden17.html]this[/url] three birds are mentioned. The bluebird, song sparrow, and red-wing. Bluebird and red-wing seem very unlikely to me, therefore I'd say Sparrow is a fair choice. Especially considering Jack Sparrow is a character in a mainstream film.[/quote]
