Bonanza Jellybean

Caspar Goodwood (The Portrait of a Lady)

Esme Bland from The Two Ms. Greenvilles

I read those books eons ago, but those supporting character names have always stuck with me.

Hannibal Lecter. Something about the name Hannibal.

Dr. Montgomery Montgomery from a Series of Unfortunate Events.

ak-Haru Kenaustin Ardenol, also known as The Theomach from The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant.

I am also fond of The Harrow and The Auriference as character names, from the final Chronicles.

UNDINE SPRAGGE - Edith Wharton's The Custom of the Country

Eula Varner (from Faulkner)

Daenerys Targaryen

I agree, OP! I thought Robert California was hilarious, and a lot funnier than Steve Carell's character. The show had run out of momentum by that point, but I would have watched a Robert California spinoff.

Dickens came up with wonderful name after wonderful name. Someone already mentioned Uriah Heep, but there are so many great ones to choose from. Ebenezer Scrooge is another classic.

Della Street

Honeychile Rider, from "Dr. No."

I thought, "Dr. Temperance Brennan" sounded pretentious at first but since the character was both beautiful and (based on an actual person who was autistic while they didn't clarify that at first on the show) it somehow fit perfectly.

Tommy Gnosis from Hedwig and the Angry Inch was a great rock star name.

Atticus Finch

One of my favorite books as a kid was A Penny For Candy. The main character was called Jonathan Percival Pinkerton Jr. I thought that was such a great name I had my mom call me Jonathan Percival. Only at home and it only lasted a few months, but I’ve never forgotten that name!

Best: Lilimae Clements, Knots Landing

Worst: Mrs. Hogoboom, Uncle Buck TV series

I would like to see John Candy's Uncle Buck and Julie Harris' Lilimae in a scene together

Jasper Lamar Crabb

R53 - not a huge fan of Dickens overall, but he did have some fabulous character names. One of my favorites was Josiah Bounderby - I read the book while starting to master crossword puzzles, so I had just learned that a bounder is a cad, lout, douchecanoe, miscreant. Lovely

Sounds like fictional name, doesn't it? Possibly the name of a porn-star, or a character on THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL, or a spoofy action movie?

He plays linebacker for the Ohio State Buckeyes.

r320, he looks like he's starting to transition....

Also, "Nicholas Foxworth Crane" (Fox Crane) from "Passions." And on "The Bold & the Beautiful" there was a model who was murdered named "Ivana Vanderveld."

There was a character in the original Dark Shadows named "Aristede." I thought that was a unique and memorable name. Maybe it was the purple eyeshadow and black eyeliner they'd use on him .. lol

The actor, Michael Stroka, played two other roles on the show, "Bruno Hess" and "Laszlo Ferrari." Those were good names too.

If there's a Best Ensemble/Collection of fictional names sub-category, I nominate TRADING PLACES:
