Collaboration: SciFi and Fantasy character names

[Baron Munchausen]

Yes, I'm trying to compile yet another thematic list of shipnames. This time it's 'heros' and other major characters of SciFi and Fantasy stories. Literature, mythology, movies, tv, are all fair game. But I want active characters. Not 'also present' types but really powerful and dangerous types. Originally I was going to call the list 'Heros' but I don't think there are enough big-time protagonist/hero names without going into weirdly obscure books and/or using very ordinary sounding names that might conflict with other lists. The biggest problem is that some of the best sources of names, like Greek mythology, are already used in another list. Some of the names I've already got are kind of marginal as it is. And, please note, female characters would go into a different list. With that intro, here are the names I've come up with so far:

Ali Baba
Aladdin
Angatyr
Aramis
Athos
Atreyu
Beowulf
Buck Rogers
Captain Kirk
Conan
Corum
Corwin
Count Brass
Cyrano de Bergerac
