Chiana:
My picture of Susan is along the lines of Penelope Cruz.

--- Quote from: Dina on April 05, 2013, 12:04:00 AM ---Rasins, I don't know what a cheech Marin is. I meant that I understand the Latino part (Rodriguez= hispanic origin (I dont want to begin talking why I don't really like this usage of the word, is the current one, so it is what it is) but I don't think Latinos (or any other etnia) has a way of behave which is different than the others. That is why I didn't understand the "how is written" part, as I don't think you can tell any etnia for the behavior of a character.
Instead, I think the "half Latino" can come for the Susan part. She is not Susana, but Susan.

These days, a name means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, first name (given name), middle name (given name) or last name (surname/family name), but especially first and middle names. There are many examples where even the last name bears absolutely no resemblance to the person's heritage. However, given names sometimes arise out of the whim or craziness of the parents (e.g. Moon Unit). Rules are out the window. Susan's parents could have just picked Susan because they liked that form of the name, or Susan could have changed it herself, for whatever reason.
Dina:
Yes, there are many exceptions, but I can understand how a name gives an "idea" of a person. When I've heard someone called "Paolo Ortega" I didn't think in a Sweden. Or Hiro doesn't make me think in a Native American.

I've always heard/pictured Harry as Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs. I think it is the parallels between Harry getting the crap beat out of him each book, and Mike getting stuck doing the crappiest jobs every episode.
Oh and Tilda Swinton as Lash.
