ArchivesBrick & Hud.
I recently rented two Paul Newman films, namely "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof" (1958) and "Hud" (1963). In the first film, Newman's character is called Brick Politt and his character in the second film is called Hud Bannon. Both characters' first names are names that are not featured in this database, and I wondered what their origin could be. Perhaps one of you does?
Here's potentially useful information:
Brick: I have no clue to what this name's possible origin could be. Paul Newman's character was born and raised in the south of the United States. He has a brother named Gooper, so perhaps both Brick and Gooper are surnames.
Hud: Born and raised in Texas, Hud *could* be short for Hudson. But I don't think so, personally - could Hud also be a typical southern nickname for the name Henry?
That's it - thank you for your input. :)
