Tip, Hap and Wick?


What is up with these ridiculous names for the male characters? Is this the writers' fetish or a North Dakota thing?

reply

Just those? How about these names in full?

Hap Briggs
Wick Briggs
Billy LeFever
Garry LaFramboise
Tip Harrison
Jules Jackman
Buffalo Zabinsky
Kess Eze
Star Pavon
Van Ness
Myron Stipple
Burly Wilson

Writers must be high on crack when they came up with those names.

reply

Lol with Buffalo Zabinsky.

It's like the writers played Letter Blender to create these names.


reply

I think they are trying to copy Dallas in nicknames like Jock, Digger, and Punk.

reply

Soap operas always have weird character names.

reply

That is certainly true. The daytime shows especially.

reply

Tip = Tipton

Hap = Happy

Wick = Wilkerson

reply

Nope, the full names aren't any better!

reply

Don't know about the other two, but Hap's name is Harlan

reply

Maybe the Palin family consulted on character development?
