Rhyming Susan Sontag with Guy Montag and the other days of the week here is getting dangerously close to a new verse for La Vie Boheme. :cool:

Fedrin Bedell in the short story “Playmates” in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, May 1986. The name was supposed to be “Febrin” after “February,” but I made a tyop and liked it.

23

The Girl from U.N.C.L.E. was April Dancer.

24

Too bad Julian May is an author and not one of his characters.

25

On one episode of *Dharma & Greg, *there’s an old friend of Dharma’s named September.

Ellie May Clampett

Julio Zapata (Y Tu Mamá También)

Auguste Renoir – artist

Billy Sunday – Baseball player and evangelist. “Sunday” was his family name, BTW, and not a pseudonym, no matter how appropriate it seems.

Frederick March – 2x Oscar winner.

Rick Monday – first baseman for the A’s, Cubs, and Dodgers.

Well, I guess Billy Sunday was sort of a character. But not in the way the OP meant, I think.

[QUOTE=Chez Guevara]
Not a character but surely author Julian Gregory belongs in this thread.
[/QUOTE]

If there’s room for him, then surely we can also include American academic Vartan Gregorian.

[QUOTE=ErinPuff]
Mr. Wednesday from Neil Gaiman’s American Gods.
[/QUOTE]
To be fair, the day was named after him.

33

[QUOTE=Fiver]
Wednesday Addams.
[/QUOTE]
If memory serves, her middle name was Friday.

King Friday XIII, to be precise.

Mr. Monday from The Venture Brothers

Oh, good one! I’d forgotten him. He also appeared in at least one of Foster’s Flinx books, too.
