This is probably the real list, but these are too "normal" to sound powerful. In books they are always:

Maxwell
Baxter
Arthur
Baron
Alexander
Archibald
Clarence
Duncan
Oliver
Prescott
Reginald
Rupert


Maxwell and Baxter are romance novel stars -- which means they have oiled, glistening chests and know how to love-bomb but they're lovers with Archibald. They do grunt work like digging with pick axes in the hot sun -- see below. Clarence and Duncan are accountants, which is a perfectly fine profession; nothing fancy, pays the mortgage but not overly masculine. They manage the money for university research, including for Oliver and Prescott, archeologists on a dig, while Reginald is their project manager. Reginald is doing the entire team dirty by plotting to steal the artifacts and sell them to shady actors who pass them along to museums -- i.e., Rupert. Oliver sips tea -- or sips on tea or slurps tea -- in the shade of his canvas tent to avoid the bugs. No one has figure out his role yet.


“Baxter” is a name fit only for a cat.

Or maybe a hamster.


Or a dog that poops in the fridge and eats a whole wheel of cheese. Ron was a powerful name. The kind that invented the wheel or built the Eiffel Tower out of metal and brawn.


Why do you have a dog in your fridge?! My dog would go nuts.


I’m not even mad, I’m impressed! PP, it’s an Anchorman reference.

The Butler is Geeves. Baxter is the cat. And Phineas is the dog.

Really? These are the names of dentists. I guess Michael could own his own landscaping company and Christopher would make a good glass artist at Glen Echo. Certainly not powerful names. Fox5 "news" tends to suddenly turn from news into a Starbucks filled with shrieking teen girls -- which is when you have to change the channel if you've already graduated from high school -- and this is one of those "news" stories apparently.

Give me a good paragraph or two about your most powerful males with these names. Fiction preferred (obviously).


Powerful male names are monosyllabic.

Ward
Grant
Jack
Will
John
Mark


Ward and Grant are daytime tv stars, probably the patriarchs on soap operas. Jack and Will are the landscapers banging their rich wives and John and Mark -- who are they and why are they on this list?


John and Mark are the Ned Flanders of your drama.

It's a surname. And it's only a southern thing to give surnames as first names - so dumb.
