I've been watching mini-series from the BBC called Bleak House. Now, I've seen this with other books/stories from long ago, but the characters names still make me laugh. The character's names are often directly linked to an aspect of their personality or something significant they have to contribute to the story. Here are a few examples.
Lady Dedlock
Mr. Tulkinghorn
Miss Flite
Guppy
Smallweed
Boythorn
Krook
So if my name was directly linked to personality, I wonder what I'd be called. (Rhetorical question, don't respond.)

Just read a book.
ReplyDeleteMain characters: Jane and Abel
Bad Guy: Dirk Ennseci (sounds like Dark and Sexy)
Family of spys last name: Spyrus
And the laughs kept coming.
True Bleak House is drama, but sometimes it can be fun too!
