There's a lot of posts about character names that irritate or pull you out of movies. But what about names that really stand out? A name to which you cannot separate from the film character.
One name that I amazes me whenever I come across it is Veruca Salt from Willy Wonka. The name is so distinctive, even beyond Willy Wonka or the other characters. I haven't found any resources on how they came up with it.
Danny Ocean from Ocean's Eleven is another name that I find perfect. It just sums up the character and his cleverness and flaws.
What are some names pop out for you? Where did the writers come up with them?
