Argh! Hubertus Bigend!

[Fire Walk With Me]

:rofl:

A main character of the last two William Gibson novels. A name that should not be, yet it is, and it works. Hiro Protagonist from Snow Crash also comes to mind as something that should not be but the author pulled it off and all is forgiven. Do you have any "can't forget outrageous character names" bugging you as well? :)

1. Not outrageous; just "How do you pronounce that?"

John Le Carre's Peter Guillam and Oliver Lacon and Carl Hiaasen's Joe Winder-- I mean, give us a hint, fellas. Then again, I took out a John Le Carre on tape from the library just to find out how they're pronounced and immediately forgot, so it isn't like it's a burning issue to me.

2. Pussy Galore

also USAF Generals Buck Turgidson and Jack D. Ripper.

[Fire Walk With Me]

5. Yeah, Pussy Galore...quite the "Oh No!" in that one :)

Jack D. Ripper...who had the gall to do that?

[Lionel Mandrake]

6. General Jack D. Ripper et al.

are characters in Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece, "Dr. Strangelove".

7. Obviously, I need to see that again after so many decades!
