The Naming of Characters

[halloo-schlag.livejournal.com]

Oftentimes, people have certain associations with names. 
Being a writer, I am interested in what kinds of names people associate with different personality traits. 
Also, I think it'd be interesting for name-lovers to see how others perceive certain names. 

So, here is the Game: 

GIVE A NAME (first, middle if desired) THAT YOU THINK GOES WITH EACH PERSONALITY TRAIT:
