It's really amazing how silly names can people sometimes come up with for movies, books and games. I think it's especially hilarious with many "tough action hero" type characters. You know John Matrix, Logan Blade, that type of thing. One of my all time favourites has to be Cypher Rage from After Earth. Recently I learned that J.K. Rowling wrote an entire series of crime novels with a detective named Cormoran Strike. I nearly fell over laughing at the book store when I read that at the back of the cover. And now I found a new contender- Ichabod Drift, a space smuggler from a novel by Mike Brooks. It reall amazes me that someone writes a movie or a novel that's supposed to be taken seriously and gives the protagonist a name like that. I mean, at least Commando was supposed to be just as stupid as it's hero's name, but Cormoran Strike? Cypher Rage? I can't be the only one who finds it hilarious, right?
