TV Character Names

The names of television characters, from the days of the Western and early soap operas, have always been influential, with life imitating the small screen and vice versa. Names of TV characters include current favorites, historic revivals, and writer creations. Top choices today include Roman, as in Roman Roy of Succession, and Arya, as in Arya Stark of Game of Thrones
