Meaningful Name/Literature: Difference between revisions

* [[Door StopperDoorstopper|Tad Williams's]] ''[[Otherland]]'' series includes a character who goes by the name of John Dread. His mother gave him the name "Johnny Wulgaru" because, according to the book, a "Wulgaru" is a type of demon in the mythology of the Australian aborigines, and she wanted him to grow up to be a monster who would take her revenge on the white man for destroying her people's way of life. Later, when the [[Big Bad]] hires him to be [[The Dragon]], he starts to go by the alias "Johnny More Dread", because the [[Big Bad]] thinks of himself as being like King Arthur and "More Dread" sounds like Mordred. {{spoiler|And, yes, [[Eviler Than Thou|he follows Mordred's example.]]}}
