Members DRW50 Posted January 3, 2015 Members Share Posted January 3, 2015 DuAnn always drove me crazy as a name. It's so hard on the ear. Now I'm thinking back to poor Nancy Barrett having to play a character named Deborah Von Druden. And I never liked Astrid as a name either.

Members ellabelle Posted January 3, 2015 Members Share Posted January 3, 2015 In reference to Brick and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof...I actually do know a little boy named Brick. His parents have a common last name and wanted something unusual and tossed around random words until they settled on Brick. I mentioned Cat on a Hot Tin Roof to her later, and she loved the idea that her son shared a name with a Paul Newman character. IDK if she ever read the play and realized the character was really gay, a fact that was pretty much removed from the movie. I know Astrid is a legitimate name, but anything that begins with the "Ass" sound is potentially a poor choice when naming a human being. That said, I also know a child named Astrid Luna Lastname. Also mentioned upthread....I can't believe I forgot about Trucker on Loving and Seabone Hunkle on AMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted January 3, 2015 Members Share Posted January 3, 2015 I love AMC to death but...Di, Del & Dixie. I can't deal with any of those damn names! Also, remember they had a character named Mookie? Awful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted January 3, 2015 Members Share Posted January 3, 2015 Didn't Megan McTavish basically rewrite history, changing "Hunkle" to "Henry" and "Seabone" to "Paul"? And IIRC, Ryan's name was "John Ryan Curry" before his middle name suddenly became "Aloysius" instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted January 3, 2015 Members Share Posted January 3, 2015 to be fair to Di, her real name was Diana. Kind of like Princess Diana, who was called Di for short Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members All My Shadows Posted January 3, 2015 Members Share Posted January 3, 2015 Dark Shadows had some pretty wild names. Magda Rakosi, Bruno Hess, Jebez Hawkes, Angelique Bouchard, Skyler Rumson, Charity Trask, Josette duPres. They're weird, but I wouldn't call them bad. ATWT had two of the ugliest family names ever: Munson and Snyder. I'm not even crazy about Hughes. "Edith Hughes Frye" is the worst. Which brings me to AMC and "Livia Frye Cudahy," which is just gross. I know. I was actually griping more about "Corinthos" than "Sonny." It just feels like a manufactured name that doesn't really exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted January 3, 2015 Members Share Posted January 3, 2015 From what little I've seen of Search, they had their crazy names too. T.R.

Members YRBB Posted January 3, 2015 Members Share Posted January 3, 2015 It does exist as a name, but it's for a city in Greece. Not sure if that's where they got it from but it would be an incredible coincidence if they made it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
