Peter Quill has named two M-ships after his childhood crushes: the Milano and the Benatar, named after 1980s actor Alyssa Milano and singer Pat Benatar.

Were Milano and/or Benatar consulted? Compensated? Have they commented?

    I can't find anything out about Pat Benatar liking/disliking the name. I've reached out to her through the usual channels. Hopefully she'll respond in due course.

    You do not, in general, consult or compensate anyone for pop-culture references in fiction.

    @AzorAhai I'm very close to Quill in age, and I absolutely watched Who's the Boss in that timeframe.

    Hopefully, Peter Quill took advantage of his time on Earth to have a look at Alyssa Milano in Charmed...
