The thread on The Office reminded me how much I love the name “Robert California” for that (otherwise useless) character. What’s your favorite naming choice from a tv show, film, play, book, etc?

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.

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.

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.
