| The first one that leaps to mind is Bunny Flingus in The House of Blue Leaves. I remember when I first read the play, around middle school, I just thought it was a funny name for someone to have! Ah, for the innocence of youth. | |

| Bruce, up until NOW I'd always thought it was just a funny name as well (and because she's having a "fling" with Artie, it seemed maybe even a little on-the-nose). I never until just this moment as I ran the sound of it over and over in my head, realized that the name is actually more "on the tongue!" | |

| In "Auntie Mame" and "Mame," Mame's trusted friend and long-time admirer is one M. Lindsay Woolsey. This is a play on the apparently ancient term "linsey-woolsey," generally defined as a coarse fabric but also as "a jumble." | |
