Bad guy names

[starborn_scribe]

I think I already know the answer to this, but I'll ask anyway. Is "Graves" a way too obvious last name for a character who turns out the be the bad guy? This is for a screenplay, so the character will likely be a white male American.

Probably not, but then, I named my most recent bad guy "Galt." Subtlety's overrated.

LOL. Thanks!

I can't speak for anyone else, but strictly saying "Last name, Graves" to me, my chain of thought of goes - Peter Graves - Mission Impossible - Good Guy. So, not too obvious to me.

Good to know. Thanks!
