Phillips & Bells

[trivher.livejournal.com]

One of my favorite TV shows was So Weird that aired on Disney Channel from 1999 to 2001. It's amazing how many names I adore from there. In general I think the writers/creators did a great job naming everyone. The character were as followings - my loves are marked.



The Phillips Family
Richard "Rick"
Molly
Jack
Fiona

The Bell Family
Edward "Ned"
Irene
Carey (a boy by the way)
Clu (in the third season it was revealed to be Cluette, but alot of fans don't accept that - long story lol)

The Thelen Family
Kevin
Lisa (likely short for Elizabeth)
Annie

Other characters included....
Rachel (Rick's twin sister)
Melinda (Rick's sister)
Tad

There is more but I have nachos waiting for me so I think I will go eat them!



Is there is a TV show that you simply adore the names on it?

there used to be a disney show that only ran for a little while (and actually i think started on abc) that was called "fast forward". the two main characters were best friends and they were tucker "tuck" and rebecca "becca". i always thought those names were cute together.

i really like law & order:svu and their characters have a lot of nice names: elliot, olivia, alexandra "alex", odafin "fin", casey, and melinda.

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

My best friend would love you. Her top names for future kids are Elliot and Olivia.

[solyma.livejournal.com]

elliot is one of my fave names as well. :)

[itcouldbelove.livejournal.com]

i love both as well. but it makes me feel like a huge nerd, haha.

[p-inkjeans.livejournal.com]

yesssss. loooove that show. my favorite girl's name is olivia. but my "favorite" names are the ones for elliot's kids: maureen, kathleen, elizabeth, and dickie. what the hell is with a SEX CRIMES COP naming his kid DICKIE???

[solyma.livejournal.com]

hahaha i never understood that either. maybe his full name is richard? ;)

[solyma.livejournal.com]

oh, i forgot about "felicity"!

felicity, ben, noel (pronounced like joel), julie, elena, meghan, sean, and javier.

[solyma.livejournal.com]

some more i thought of: ruby, tracy (male), natalie, eli, blair (male), finn, molly, avery, deforrest, trevor, lauren, owen, and zoe.

gosh i love this show! lol

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

Eric Camden (husband/dad)
Annie (the wife/mom)
the kids:
Matt
Mary
Lucy
Simon
Ruthie
Sam

[colin-chaotic.livejournal.com]

I adore the names on Veronica Mars... Maybe not so much for naming my own future children, but they fit the characters so perfectly.

Mars Family
Keith
Lianne
Veronica
Back-up (their dog; I adore his name for the awesome "Make sure you take Back-up!" joke in the pilot)

Echolls Family
Aaron
Lynn
Trina
Logan

Casablancas Family
Richard "Big Dick"
Betina
Kendall (or, um, Priscilla; she stole the name of Kendall from a girl who died)
Dick (Richard Jr)
Cassidy (called Beaver, a nickname given to him by his brother, Dick)

Goodman Family
Woody (leading to the wonderful password "Mr.Goodwood")
Gia
Rodney

And, of course, can't forget Madison Sinclair, who was switched at birth with Cindy Mackenzie. That is just pure genius. And how can I forget the badass biker gang members, with such names as Weevil, Thumper, and Bootsy? Or the Fitzpatricks, with names like Liam, Molly, and Patrick! (Yes, Patrick Fitzpatrick. Father Patrick Fitzpatrick, even.)

And, of course, Miss Dumas. Which gave us the ever-wonderful: "Hey, Ms. Dumbass!" "My name is Dumas, Dick." "Yeah, and my name's pronounced 'Reeshard'."

[ouronlylight.livejournal.com]

YES. I love the VM names.

Veronica
Lilly
Duncan
Aaron
Logan
Leo

There are more, but my mind is drawing a blank.

[colin-chaotic.livejournal.com]

I adore the name Leo. Which is weird, because pre-VM!Leo, I'd always sort of disliked the name. But thanks to him, and Leo-at-my-school-with-the-dog, I now love the name.

I remember the other name I adore! CLIFF! How could I forget Cliff? I'm sorry, Cliffie!

[colin-chaotic.livejournal.com]

Oh, and for a show with names I actually adore, Crossing Jordan:

Jordan
Garret
Lily
Matt
James
Peter
Sydney
JD (stands for John Douglas)

I also love the names on Dark Angel, because they're perfectly fitting with the sort of futuristic dystopia that it takes place in, while being perfectly believable for only fifteen years or so in the future: Max Guevera, Alec, Ames White, Joshua, Logan Cale, Calvin "Sketchy" Theodore, Reagan "Normal" Ronald, Cynthia "Original Cindy" McEachin. Plus stuff like Jondy, Tinga, Krit, Syl, Brin... Awesome.

[itcouldbelove.livejournal.com]

you forgot woody! hahahah. oh man.

[colin-chaotic.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah. Because I was listing names I like! That's why I didn't list Nigel, or Mahesh.

[mamasjoy.livejournal.com]

Ever since starting to watch Prison Break, I have fallen for the name Lincoln. Love it!

[glitterberrys.livejournal.com]

Sydney
Jack
Vaughn (I know it's his last name, but I LOVE it for a middle name, and I like Michael as well)
Julian
Irina
Lauren
Allison
Francie (I've thought this was really cute ever since I read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn in the seventh grade.)
Thomas
Anna
Peyton (yes, I know it's her last name, but I love it, and it's what she's called, so...)
Renee

Not nuts about Arvin, Marcus, Marshall (I like it, but I'm lukewarm about it), Will (I love William, but not just "Will," though I assume it's a nickname), Kelly, Nadia (though I adore Nadia herself, fuck you, Abrams), Rachel (again, love her, just not her name) or Eric (another one I like, just don't love), though.

Crossing Jordan also has a great selection of names (as listed above.) I hate the show, though, go figure.

[glitterberrys.livejournal.com]

Aw, I just realized I forgot to mention The Inside. I think it had more to do with how appropriate everyone's names were, they clearly took a lot of care with them, but they also all had a great sound to them, and a lot of them were just names I really like:
Rebecca Locke
Virgil "Web" Webster (the two most aptly-named characters in the history of EVER, Rebecca and Web were.)
Paul Ryan (eh)
Melody Sim
Danny Love
Carter Howard (well, nothing remarkable about "Howard," but I do so love the name Carter)

[swansong19.livejournal.com]

I was madly in love with that show.

I was even more in love with In A Heartbeat.
Tyler Connell
Val Lanier
Brooke Lanier
Hank Beecham
Jamie Waite
Caitie Roth
I honestly can't think of many combos of Tyler, Val, Brooke, Hank, Jamie, and Caitie (well, Katie, since it's my name) that I don't like. Tyler and Brooke is one of my favorite pairs ever :)

[ouronlylight.livejournal.com]

Passions. It's an utterly ridiculous soap opera, but they've got some pretty nice names on that show. (Likes italicized.)

Crane family
Alistair
Katherine (though she makes me not like the name)
Rachel
Julian
Rebecca
Sheridan
Chris
Beth
Chad
Fancy (it's not known what it's short for, but I like Fancy as a silly, cutesy, family-only nickname for Francesca)
Nicholas Foxworth (nicknamed Fox)
Ethan Martin (called Little Ethan)
Endora
Martin (nicknamed Marty)
James
Miles

Lopez-Fitzgerald family
Martin
Pilar
Antonio (formerly known by his middle name, Brian)
Luis
Theresa
Miguel
Paloma

Bennett family
Sam
Ivy
Grace
Hank
Ethan
Gwen
Noah
Kathleen (nicknamed Kay)
Jessica
Jack (Sam and Grace's miscarried son)
Charity
Maria
Sarah
Nathan (Ethan and Gwen's medically aborted son)
Jane

Russell family
Thornton Chandler (nicknamed TC)
Eve
Whitney
Simone
Elizabeth (nicknamed Liz)

Other notables include Tabitha, Timmy, Siren (a mermaid), Edna, and Norma.

Yes, I am aware that I watch what is tantamount to crack cocaine.

[colin-chaotic.livejournal.com]

Because I've been watching it fairly non-stop, I thought I'd also add the names from Radio Free Roscoe, which I love:

Lily Randall
Robert "Robbie" McGrath
Travis Strong
Raymond "Ray" Brennan

Re: haha

[colin-chaotic.livejournal.com]

Haha, that's awesome! I could never use the name Lily now because of Lilly on Veronica Mars - she's the murdered girl that basically provides the plot for the first season, and was sort of a bitch. Awesome, but still.
