HelpRe: What are your favourite names from fiction?
in reply to a message by guasguendi
One of mine is Shuéme (from French "chouette", meaning "owl"), who was the Great White Owl mascot of the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.
And although these are from my own creations, there's the surname Shedenkisser (an anglicization of the Yiddish "זשעדנע חזיר" (zhedne khzir), meaning "greedy pig"), a corrupt German Ashkenazi Jewish family, and the placename Terrpupdaforme (from Old French "terre du pueple de la forme", meaning "land of the shape people"), whose name references how it is an entire country inhabited by anthropomorphic shapes (and is a stand in for France).
