Collaboration: SciFi and Fantasy character names

[TerranC]

William Tell

And I thought it was Paul Bunyan?

[Taz-in-Space]

Just did a Google search both ways...and found it spelled both ways! (sometimes on the SAME site!!!)

[Baron Munchausen]

All the King Arthur related names are used in another list titled 'Chivalry', just like all the greek heroes are used in the Greek list. I've also got alist of American Indian tribes that includes a few famous/mythic indivuduals like Hiawatha. See how hard it can be to come up with names once you've got to avoid inter-locking lists?

[Alpha Kodiak]

Here are a few from my kid's current favorite book series (I have to admit to liking it too):

Harry Potter
Voldemort
Albus Dumbledore
Hagrid
Sirius Black
Hermione Granger
Ron Weasley
Severus Snape
Remus Lupin
Draco Malfoy

Don't laugh. There is some serious firepower (some good, some evil) in that list. I have to admit, though, that they don't sound too serious.

[Askan Nightbringer]

Some from Pratchet (off the top of my head)

Cohen
Rincewind
Two Flowers
Mort
Ridcully
Ponder Stibbons
Cut-My-Throat Dibbler
Commander Grimes
Captain Carrot
Seargent Detritus
Corporal Nobby
Seargent Colon
Reggie Shoe

Askan

[dogscoff]

Action heros from a few of my favourite sf&f (ish)films:

Kaneda (Main character from "Akira")
Edgar Frog
Alan Frog (The vamp hunters from "The Lost Boys")
Eric Draven (The Crow himself)
Corben Dallas (5th Element - hey, I liked it)

Decker (Blade Runner- What was his 1st name?)

Uhh.. that's it for now.

*Edit - removed female character Leeloo from this chauvanistic list
