Cool character names
What are some bad-ass character names you've heard? For me, it's from The Man From U.N.C.L.E. - Napolean Solo.

I think that the Coen Brothers create quite a few memorable character names. I'm fond of Knox Herrington (the video artist), Pappy O'Daniel, Homer Stokes etc. Most of the names seem to really fit the characters.
PT Anderson also has some great ones. I've always felt that Frank T.J. Mackey was a perfect name for Cruise's character in Magnolia. How can you not enjoy names like Chest Rockwell and Brock Landers? There are a lot of great names in screwball comedies and Hitchcock films too.
