I think I read somewhere that the actors picked the first names for their characters. So we could blame it all on Mr. O'Hare, should we not like the choice. ;P No big deal in any case, after all, what's in a name? He whom we call Andrew or Thomas, by any other name would be just as snarky...
Once upon a time, young Mr Gillette decided to join the cavalry.
"Name?" "Gillette." "Full name." "Juste Gillette." "Nobody's called just Gillette." "Yes, I am. Juste Gillette. Like my father." "So your father's name was Gillette Gillette then?" "No. Juste Gillette." "Oh, I see, we're having a smart one here? Just you wait and see, boy..." "With all due respect, you don't have the right to call me by my first name, Sir." "I thought you don't have a first name?" "I have one, and I told you ten times before! JUSTE GILLETTE!" "So you're called Gillette Gillette then? Odd family." "That's it. I'll join the navy."
Well, judging by the way she brought up her son, Mrs. Gillette is a force to be reckoned with. I wouldn't put it beyond her to call her offspring Gervase or even Pubert!
Looking at the new "handsome young lad" on the set, I'd say Will got the better treatment, all things considered. He was a leading character, while the missionary guy doesn't seem much more than a side character who gets to oggle a mermaid. And I think people will be more interested in the mermaid than him.

(Still too many beards in this film, mind you.)
Agreed! Beards are EVIL!

So it's still just Gillette, without a first name. Unless it's exactly his first name: Juste Gillette. Sorry.

I need to fumigate my journal now, it's been biberised!
He played a concert here last week. Sold out, with thousands screaming and hundreds fainting. I don't get it...

What mother would be so cruel??? :-P
And I refuse to think of Gillette as anything other than Andrew - except when reading your fine fanfics. :-)
Actually I would. My children are going to have three-syllable names, with fadas on the vowels if it kills me.

Poor Gillette, his first name should be Reynard, like the fox, but I like Andrew very much too. That's not his real name then?
