914.0. "NAMES FOR TV SHOW" by BUSY::KVILLANI () Mon Oct 25 1993 12:08

    This may sound ridiculous, but I figured, it probably is the right note
    to enter this in.
    
    My friend and I are trying to come up with an idea for a television
    episode. We also want to write the pilot.
    
    Problem is NAMES!!! The show is about this woman who has a Phd but
    something (we haven't determined yet) is going to happen, and she
    loses her job.  Anyway, she has no choice but to run the family
    bar/pub. She will be Irish.  Her grandfather named the Pub after her
    grandmother. (which we have not established a name for that either)
    
    We wanted the woman to have like a kind of funny/wierd name, and that
    she will have a kind of tough nickname. We were thinking of something
    like the nickname "Marty" maybe coming from Martha or Martina. But
    those aren't real "strange" names. We wanted something wierd (which I
    hope noone out there takes offense, but like my grandmother Matilda,
    and Gretchen. Etc.
    
    We have to also name a teenage girl, her husband, sisters, brothers,
    remember the bar, so any suggestions is welcomed.
    
    Thanks,
    Karen

    >>>          Monica........Moe
    I'll have you know that the accepted nickname for Monica is Moni.
    
    Re basenote:
    This sounds a lot like "Love&War" Where a wellknown chef runs a little
    restaurant - her nickname is "Wally". (of course, that was last season.
    now since the actress playing Wally left, there's some other senario
    taking place. but thats neither here nor there).
    
    Wilhelmine? Alvina? 
    
    - Monica

    good luck Karen.. Funny I thought the same thing as re:1 did in regards 
    to the show Love and War with Wally. (susan dey) Now a fiesty cute tough 
    girl (played by Annie Potts)is the cook at the bar/restaurant - she has a 
    different name too, but I can't think of it.
    
    How 'bout the name Vivian - calling her Viv.  Or Oliva and Livi 
    
    Good luck - 
    
    Christina

    The cook's name now is:	Dana 
    
    The previous cook was Walley, her X-husband was Kip.  (just so you
    don't use those names)
    
    How's the writting  going anyway?
    
    Gretta is a good one or Mauve
