Excellent prose sometimes seems to be a dying art. The film industry, at times, does its part to revive it with great screen plays or scripts based on great novels. Great screen plays and great novels have something in common: they tend to be written by great writers, like
Harper Lee,
Spike Lee, and
Quentin Tarantino. Great writers are imaginative enough that often their creativity is also displayed in details, such as the titles of the films and/or names of the characters, sometimes ignored by other writers. Below are some great character names that are wonderfully original or ironic, yet don't betray the character with unnecessary showiness or unfitting silliness.
Instead of asking you for your favorite character, we ask: which name do you think best suits the particular character and helps to brings that person to life?After voting, feel free to
