Best Fictional Names on TV March 2009

Alright so let's have some fun. These are my current favorite character names on television. The characters listed below are from TV shows that are currently on network television.


Victory Ford (Lipstick Jungle)
Perfect name for her occupation: Top End Fashion Designer in New York City.
Sidenote to NBC: Is this show cancelled or not? I have been patient through these months and I demand some answers! I can only hope that the delayed press release means that the network is trying to find a proper time slot for this excellent program. (Previous Friday Night Death Slot is a no no.)

Requires no further explanation.
 
His name is Hiro. The show is named Heroes. Coincidence? Not on this show...
 
During season 1, the viewer discovers that his birth name is in fact, Dick Whitman. I must admit the birth name is a better fit for this married bachelor. Nonetheless, Don Draper is a perfect name to represent his marketing occupation.
Dexter (Dexter)
Creepy show. Twisted premise. Perfect name.
Her new married name, Bree Hodge, just doesn't hold the same standards as it did back in season 1. Bree Van De Kamp was a perfect name to fit her ever so perfect 50's housewife mold. Hodge Podge she should have kept the classy Van De Kamp.
The name is as catchy and witty as Fey's show. 
 
This hunk of burning yumminess is perfectly named. Like his character, the name Ford is an all american cowboy name, and the name Sawyer derives from one of the most famous pieces of literature in American History, Tom Sawyer. 
I believe his character has two meanings: 1.) It was the name that he was born into, 2.) The hospital is his house, he does what he wants, acts the way he wants, and gets his way. It's his house and everybody else are his playmates.
