What are some names with double meanings?

Okay,in 12th night,some of the characters have double meanings in their names. Like,for example,the protoganist,viola. Viola is the name of an instrument with a deeper(more masculine) tone.in the play,viola happens to disguise herself as a man.

Another example; Lady olivia,from 12th night also,is very beautiful.olive trees are gorgeous as well.

Cool,right? I was wondering if anyone could think of any other characers like this,names with meanings that hint as to their personality or anything about them. It could be from a book,a movie,tv,whatever. I really find this interesting,and I wonder if anyone could contribute to this list.

Thanks:)

P.s.-sorry this is so long!!

Answer #2

Have you ever had to read the play Antigone in english class? X) I did. If you dont know what I’m talking about, Antigone is a girl in Greek mythology who’s story is very tragic( I won’t give away the ending though just in case you do read it someday). Antigone is related to the word “Agony”.
