The writers of movies scripts often give their characters clever, silly or plain old fun names..
What is your favourite movie characters names (and please tell us the movie!)
Some of mine are
Holly Golightly in Breakfast At Tiffany's played by Audrey Hepburn
Ivana Humpalot from The Spy who Shagged Me
Calamity Jane from the movies of the same name played by Dorris Day ( and clamity Jane is a real person en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calamity_Jane www.cowgirls.com/dream/cow...lamity.htm so she probably does not count.. )

Re: Great Character Names from the Movies..
Sat, May 17, 2008 - 9:22 AMI've always liked "Darth Vader". I parse it thus:
Dark + Death, Invader + Evader. So a combination of Dark Invader and Death Evader, which seems to apply pretty well.
Then there's Luke Skywalker, appropriately heroic in tone.
And Leia Organa, with a slightly smutty sound.
But then I'm an evil person. My profile views just hit 666 today. Hallelujah!

Re: Great Character Names from the Movies..
Sun, May 18, 2008 - 6:38 AM>>>where did you learn Tarot card reading?<<<
No idea, it just sorta grew on me. I once took a course on Tarot to humor some of my friends who were taking the course and invited me to join them. I went along with it despite my feeling that Tarot reading was a bunch of superstitious nonsense. Yet. to my constant disgust and embarrassment, I turned out to be better at it than everyone else in the class, including the instructor. After that, I had little option but to take it up seriously.
Life can be pretty strange at times. <G>

Sun, May 18, 2008 - 9:13 AMComic book characters that go over the movies are all pretty good.
Peter Parker - Spiderman
Pepper Potts - Iron Man
Lois Lane - Superman
