I recently watched a delightful movie entitled Feed the Fish. I think the setting is some small community in northern Wisconsin. At one point the main character (X), a writer of childrens' books, is having a conversation with an older guy (Y), who seems gruff and illiterate. Here's a paraphrase of their conversation.
X: (Looking at some photos of a girl) Who's this?
Y: That's Sif. She works around here somewhere.
X: Sif? What kind of a name is that?
Y: (Raising his voice)You know, Sif, the wife of Thor, the god of thunder. (Now shouting) Sif!
There is no further overt reference to mythology, although Sif becomes the love interest of the main character.
By the way, the actor who plays the sheriff also played Monk in the TV series of the same name.
