"Solid Snake" ?????.....
"Deep Throat" ?????..... I love that name, but woh hold on for a second buddy.
Oh my god, please don't let Makg say anymore

But to think about it, I agree

Well, I'm sure that many game developers work out or find out names that will have a solid meaning, as well as there's many others I'm sure they make out of pure mediocrity, lazyness, or just dullness.

Like, in MK, "Noob Saibot" What the hell is that? "Tobias Boon" spelled backwards. Geez, they really tried hard on that one. And even Sub Zero. don't get me wrong, I think that the name is just awsome as well as the characters is badass. But to think about it, it's not a name I think they would have a heard time to come out with.

But ppls, watch out for fighting games. You'll find all sorts of meanings on those names.

Oh, and a name that I have always thought is the HOTTTTT: Gabriel Logan. That guy is probably my second or third action hero after Snake (the other one is Dante)

Oh, and talking about Dante. DMC has taken these names from Alighieri's book "The Divine Comedy" where Dante (the writer himself) travels along Hell, Purgatory and finally Heaven with Virgil as his companion and guide. (Now, DMC players, where did you see "Virgil" or may I say, "Vergil"? )

It is nice when they do this sort of thing based on interesting backgrounds.
