The Name Game

I liked this Wall Street Journal article about the names of characters in novels.  I just finished the story "1922" in Stephen King's book "Full Dark, No Stars", and it included a character named Rhoda Penmark.  I understood the reference immediately and wondered how many other readers knew that it was the name of the title character in the film "The Bad Seed"!
