Churchy LaFemme was another great name from Pogo! Walt Kelly had quite a knack for names. |

One of my favorite character names is also from the Chronicles of Narnia: Puddleglum, who is a Marsh-Wiggle. Great character, great name.
Of course, probably my favorite character in all of them was Reepicheep.

I love Reepicheep! And Puddleglum is THE BEST name for a Marsh Wiggle. In fact, Marsh Wiggle is a great name. |

Cheester Gould came up with lots of great nanes. in his Dick Tracy strip. One that comes to mind was E. Kent Hardly. The reason I remember that, at the same time (1959) the real Kent Hadley, slightly different, played a couple of years for the A's and Yankees.

Back in those 50s. the first of the mixed-ethnicity names I heard was a Peanuts little-leaguer on a Lucy-coached team, Jose Peterson.
