Re: Dashiell Hammett Character Names
I like Cora, Inés, Miriam, and Archibald.Creda - sort of reminds me of Cressida
Elvira - I think I've seen this in a story used for a vampire
Enid - for some reason I think of someone cringing/slouching when I see this
Kewpie - I guess it's meant like "cutie pie"? Making it similar to names like Precious. Ugh.
Dolph - vintage awful
Bunky - just awful period
Bruno - I think of a dog...and Bruno Mars...
Edouard - one of the few French names I don't like
Tai - don't know how I feel about this; I think of Thailand
Lew - one letter short of lewd
Frana - I'd prefer Fran or Ana
Hook - I think of pirates and Peter Pan; also that it rhymes with 'crook'
Madden - I think of John Madden, the NFL player
Burke - Solomon Burke from Grey's Anatomy; also "stop being such a berk".
