Dostoyevsky
Most badass names in literature
László Krasznahorkai.
David DTF Wallace
Dunno man. It makes me want to go join the gestapo and to do a shakedown on his entire family, and then to send them to the camps despite not finding anything.
>Vladislav the Gorgeous Hillock
I mean: what the fuck?
Theodor von Dostow sounds much better imho. Why did he not like the Germans so much? Can you think of one single German character of his who is not an asshat and a jerk?
I always thought Franz Kafka sounded badass.
Yevgeny Zamyatin
and it's become part of the language. "kafkaesque". i think if your name becomes a word, it's pretty badass. nobody ever says "dostoyevskyesque". or "wallaceesque"
Can you think of a German character in any Russian literature that isn't an asshat and a jerk?
Dostoevskian is a word
A Dostoevskian scandal is a term I've heard before.
Of course it is not nearly as ubiquitous as Kafkaesque.
Hegel
the german race has always been one asshats and jerks
Conrad
Aldous Huxley
Lovecraft
Lautréamont.
Sloterdijk (pronounced slaughter dick)
the german doctor in the brothers karamazov.
Neetzsche.
Thomas Ruggles Pynchon
Duff Wub
It's always a treat when there's a little Lovecraft in a story.
>Conrad
PARTYGLUE
Winrar
Rainer Maria Rilke
Lautréamont
Where did the ruggles nickname actually come from anyway?

>nickname

Virginia Woolf
>nobody ever says "dostoyevskyesque". or "wallaceesque"
I've used "Pynchonesque" before, albeit ironically
Anaximander is pretty baller
I've actually read "Pynchon-esque" used on the back of a book before. Think it might've been 2666.
Vladimir Nabokov, but only if you pronounce it incorrectly as 'NA-bo-kov' instead of 'na-BOK-off"
Charles Dickens has the most Dickensian name outside of Dickens
Ben Jonson
I was about to say that I've been pronouncing it wrong all along but then I realized that I've never actually said it out loud because I don't talk to people in the first place.
>tfw talking to local bookshop owner and i mention the name NA-bo-kov and he immediately corrects it as na-BOK-off
Man hou je bek schei uit met die onzin
Virgil

>nickname
>implying Jews are uncool
Gee I wonder who's behind this /pol/
Larochefoucauld
Underrated
Friedrich Nietzsche - Sounds powerful. When I first heard it I instantly thought of a man standing, back straight, wide shoulders, looking up and slightly off at an angle. Strong jaw jutting out, large brow ridge... his arm crossing his body and making a pointing motion out to the distance.
William Blake - Sounds mysterious. Like something from a ''fever dream''
And as the other user said: Basically every Greek name.
this
Tolkien
Gosh, now I sorta wish dostoyevskyesque was a word. Good thinking, user.

Algernon Blackwood.
Giscard d'Estaing

William Faulkner is a nice one, for some reason the surname Faulkner conjures for me feelings of mystery, vagueness and a mystical sort of atmosphere.
Yep.
>Friedrich Nietzsche
Too true, it suits his philosophy very well.
Baruch Spinoza
Burrito Chaosh
>>Friedrich Nietzsche
>Too true, it suits his philosophy very well.
Man, how does that even work. I'm agreeing with you but I'm just so confused on how does it work. The whole names thing.
