Help[Opinions] Re: Names and stereotypical characters
in reply to a message by Nix
I've noticed Morgana being commonly used for sorceresses, witches, et cetera. I believe its due to influence from Arthurian Legend.
Also seen Nigel as a stereotypical name for British masculine characters, especially in historical fiction.
Also, Tony and Gina as names for Italian-American characters.

I really agree with all the ones you've mentioned.
Although I haven't come across many witches named Morgana myself, I'm aware that it is used a lot for tat kind of characters. Same thing happens to me with Nigel.
Besides Tony and Gina I could also add Joey as stereotypical Italian-American name in fiction.
