Movie Character Names

The only names cooler than stars' names right now are the names of the characters they play. In fact, with the exception of Jack, which has long seemed to be the name of the male character in every other movie and TV adventure show, characters' names veer from the unusual to the outlandish. A few, such as Trinity from The Matrix, jumped right onto the popularity charts. Others may prove inspirational to you. Here is sampling of cool character names, along with the films in which they appear.
