The Nameme, or as I like to call it, the Namey Memey

You've seen it: given a letter, come up with five fictional people from any medium (radio, tv, movie, etc.) [livejournal.com profile] irishredlass (no longer irishredlass69!) gave me "D" and [livejournal.com profile] droxy, evil thing that she is, "Q".

Just for fun I decided to limit myself to classic literature (no, I'm not going to define "classic" here; it's like obscenity, you know it when you see it).

So, "D":
Dracula
Dagny Taggart (Atlas Shrugged)
Dolores Haze (Lolita)
Denethor, Durin, Dori, Dernhelm, etc. (Tolkien; like shootin' fish in a barrel)
Delilah (Bible)

And now "Q":
Quincey Morris (Dracula)
Quentin Daniels (Atlas Shrugged)
Quilty (Lolita)
Queen Beruthiel (Tolkien; possibly a cheat since any Queen would work, but I'm on a roll)
Quasimodo (Hunchback of Notre Dame)

There are no "Q" names in the Bible, isn't that strange? You'd think there'd be a Quintus or two in there someplace, what with all the Romans in the New Testament. Ah well. If you want to play, ask for a letter and I shall oblige.
