Birds' Last Names

[Impulse]

I've just noticed that their last names are men's first names.

Barbara "Gordon"

Helena "Kyle"

Dinah "Lance"

How weird. Anyone else notice that? :cool:

[Orcat]

huh. I never noticed.
~V~

[huntress' prey]

nop, just now

[Reese'Girl]

:p that's kinda strange! LOL!

[Impulse]

yeah, just something i noticed.

[Dritz Darkstorm]

Not until you pointed that out,Impulse.

[Frostbite]

Dinah's last name on the show is actually "Redmond".

[Impulse]

Well, that was legally. but since she ran away and she found her mother. it's actually Lance.

And on the forum it's said "Dinah Lance"

Well, that's because the forum was created before Dinah revealed her last name on the show. Everyone just assumed Dinah's last name was Lance.

[Ted]

The last name of Dinah's foster parents is Redmond; her birth mother's is Lance. She never said after meeting Carolyn which she goes by, although she did introduce herself to the Birds initially as Lance before Barbara's snooping revealed the name Redmond.

[Magic]

LOL, that was fun..... Have never thought of that.

[Impulse]

I'm speaking of her birth name, okay?

[darkphoenix]

Wow that is reallly REALLY strange....wonder if the writer's noticed that? But you know something that I always find amusing in TV land is that generally in a tv series and even alot in the movies is that characters usually have simple, cool sounding names. Like in smallville Lana Lang....Clark Kent... I see it all the time....

[Vertigo]

that is so strange i mean it is so strange

[Impulse]

Yeah, I noticed that too, dark.

[shaman]

Never noticed that until now, but how about other female D.C. characters does anyone know if there last names are also guy names.

[Frostbite]

Batgirl III is Cassandra Cain
Wonder Girl/Troia is Donna Troy

[srfrgrl]

That is way too much! Coincidence, Not!

[Impulse]

I noticed in the daily T.V. shows and soaps that many girls have guy's first names as their last names.

[Red Mask]

Many of DC's male superheroes also had first names in their last names. It was probably a trend of some sort. You've got Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne.

Then there's

1. Alan Scott, the Golden Age Green Lantern
2. Hal Jordan, the Silver Age Green Lantern
3. John Jones, or J'onn J'onzz the Martian Manhunter
4. Ted Grant a.k.a. Wildcat
5. Barry Allan, the Silver Age Flash
6. Stever Trevor

You get the idea.:p

[Impulse]

Jesse Reese---I can't believe no one mentioned him

[Frostbite]

Reese is a first name?

[Impulse]

Ever watched Malcolm in the Middle. Malcolm's older brother is named Reese.

[Frostbite]

Oh, right. Here's some more:

Ikano Kato (Kato)
Hayashi Kato (Kato II)
Mishi Kato (Kato III)
Natalie Reed (Lady Blackhawk)
John Constantine
Adam Blake (Captain Comet)
Arthur Curry (Aquaman)
Ray Palmer (The Atom)
Lex Luthor
Britt Reid (Green Hornet)
Britt Reid Jr. (Green Hornet II)
Paul Reid Jr. (Green Hornet III)
Guy Gardner (Green Lantern)
Cameron Chase
Gar Logan (Changeling aka Beast Boy)
Kara Zor-El (Supergirl) Come to think of it, all Kryptonian females have male last names..
Delia Dennis and Deidre Dennis (Dee Dee)
Andrew Nolan (Ferro Lad)

[Impulse]

Gardner is a first name?

[Frostbite]

Yes. Ever hear of Gardner Fox?

[Impulse]

Oh . . . I gotcha now.

No, his last name is Allen, not Allen.

[Impulse]

Yeah. But I knew who you were talking about.

[Frostbite]

What?

[Impulse]

I knew that you meant "Allen" not "Allan". :cool:

[Frostbite]

Red Mask is the one that said it. And I was telling Red Mask that if Barry's last name was spelled correctly, it would'nt be a first name.

[Impulse]

I guess that would be correct. Alan is more of a common spelling of a first name.

[Batman'sCOUSIN]

Frostbite, Resse is a first name. Ever heard of Resse Witherspoon???? But were talking about boy first names are'nt we?

[Frostbite]

I never said Reese wasn't a first name. I said Allen wasn't.

[Ashley Kyle]

No I have never notice that! Cool! :)

[Dark Oracle]

Never noticed that! Now I see.. :) Cool!

[Derek Quinzel]

Never noticed that.

~DQ DONE~

[KatWoman]

Me neither! I wonder if there's a logical reason for that... ::thinks::

[Red Mask]

Thanks for the correction, bub! This has been fun. :)

QUOTE: FrostBite, " Resse is a first name? "

I dont know if u meant that by not knowing that resse was a first name or what, but I just thought by u saying that u did'nt know that Resse was a first name.

[Frostbite]

Oh, right. Well, at the time I didn't think it was a first name, but by the name that you said that, I knew otherwise.

[Batman'sNiece]

[tnewebmaster]

[the panther]
