Best names in fiction

Dakarne and I were just discussing the best character names in fiction. He nominated "Angelique de Xavia" (Angel X), a police officer who is a recurring character in several Christopher Brookmyre novels. I countered this with The Man from U.N.C.L.E. whose main character is named "Napoleon Solo", which is probably as close as anyone in a mainstream American television series has ever come to the awesomely ridiculous names characters reguarly are bestowed with in Japanese cartoons.
This leaves me wondering... What do you guys think are the best names in fiction? And to make this more interesting and less of a plug-fest, let's not nominate our own characters. You can nominate characters from works on O1, as long as you aren't the one to come up with them!
