I've used a lot of Jacks & Joes (average guys).<BR/><BR/>I had an antagonist in a script I wrote a few years ago called Callus McHatred.<BR/><BR/>In one of the scripts I'm writing now, which is about a family, their names are: Hoyt & Liz (the parents) and their kids - Barnaby, Ian, Gabe and Sara.Patrick J.

Uses her wit to soothe herself over the fact she's allowed herself to be screwed over so many times. Named after a great serial director William Witney. <BR/><BR/>Then there's henchmen, who I often define by their weapon of choice: GUN, SABER, LASH, STAR, STILLETO, etc... <BR/><BR/>DET. ANNE KIRBY - a 40 yr. old female detective in Hollywood... and her partner...DET. ROBERT LEE - a 30 yr. old rookie detective. <BR/><BR/>I leave it to you to figure out where I got those names from....Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137025404327426886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10906435.post-1168161198813286632007-01-07T01:13:00.000-08:002007-01-07T01:13:00.000-08:00Wow. You actually put thought into your names. H...Wow. You actually put thought into your names. Here are some of my more recent ones:<BR/><BR/>Meredith - She's an evil lesbian. The show I specced -- the creator's name is Meredith (yeah, google it, you'll figure it out). I seriously doubt she is an evil lesbian, but I thought it was kinda funny to use the woman's name in my spec. I also hate Grey's Anatomy, so it's my own personal way of hating the main character.<BR/><BR/>Derek Thorpe - a guy I knew in high school. I always loved his name, so I subconsciously used his name for a very manly character in my pilot. Realized where I got it from when I was going through some papers one day. (Total coincidence)<BR/><BR/>Colin - was looking for a British name that implied priggishness and I had already used Nigel in another spec. May have to change his name anyway, because I have too many people who have a 'C' or 'K' at the start of their names. Gets too confusing to read in the spec.<BR/><BR/>Rick Braden - this one I did think about. Rick Blaine was Bogart's character in 'Casablanca'. Bogart also played a cop named 'Mark Braden' in a smaller film called 'Crime School'. I wanted the character to be very much a cross between these two characters as sort of a disaffected cop...hence the name. (Yeah, I'm kinda proud of that one)<BR/><BR/>Robert Selig - I asked a friend to think of someone they hated and give me their first name. I then asked someone else to think of someone they hated and give me their last name. I put the names together for a child molester. Yeah, kinda stupid, but I was stumped for a name.Shawnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15585446312896504036noreply@blogger.com
