Jackie and other participants having delicate sensitivities should skip this post
Some screen names are obviously meant to convey an idea about the actor. For example, Sarah Sidel of CSI is somewhat morose at times, suggesting suicidal tendencies. Elliott Stabler of SVU is in a continual struggle to maintain his stability in the face of massive sexual deviancies
I was sure Ellen Degeneres fell in this category, but lo and behold, it's really her name. Does anybody know about Joey Buttafuoco

That's not a screen name--he's just some stupid schlub who got his 15 minutes because of stupidity and the media frenzy surrounding it.

People who are named Dale and live in a valley might be wise to avoid suggesting that Hileman might mean something.

No, yes. One's proviso, "It is my opinion that..." is redundant because if it weren't he wouldn't say it

Elliott Stabler of SVU is in a continual struggle to maintain his stability in the face of massive sexual deviancies...That's a rather bleak perspective.... I'd rather think that he is a "stabilizer" in an otherwise <ahem> chaotic world.

mus: Of course there's that. However in several recent episodes it was all he could do to contain himself

Elliot Stabler sometimes has a bit of a temper, but I have no idea where you get "massive sexual deviancies".
Your whole post is very unclear as you seemingly confuse the idea of stage names (screen names) and character names, characters and real people, etc. Exactly who are you accusing of sodomy? Joey Buttafuoco had an affair with a 16.75-year-old girl which would have been perfectly legal in some states. If they had waited 3 months, it would have been legal in New York as well.

It's a little off topic, but, your post reminded me of two interesting items from the world of literary titbits. I shall write a book some day about the appropriateness of names. Geoffrey Chaucer has a ribald ring, as is proper and correct, and Alexander Pope was inevitably Alexander Pope. Colley Cibber was a silly little man without much elegance and Shelley was very Percy and very Byshee.
—James Joyce, quoted in Voices: A Memoir, 'At Sylvia's' by Frederic Prokosch. Joyce was replying to a question from the young author and poet Prokosch "What do you think of Virginia Woolf?" Joyce answered that it was "an impressive name... she married her wolfish husband purely in order to change her name. Virginia Stephens is not a name for an exploratory authoress. We find ourselves in something of a quandary when it comes to making up our minds about the phenomenon which Stekel calls, "the compulsion of the name". What he means by this is the sometimes quite grotesque coincidence between a man's name and his peculiarities or profession. For instance, Her Gross (Mr Grand) suffers from delusions of grandeur, Herr Kleiner (Mr Small) has an inferiority complex. The Altman sisters marry men twenty years older than themselves. Herr Feist (Mr Stout) is the Food Minister, Herr Rosstauscher (Mr Horsetrader) is a lawyer, Herr Kalberer (Mr Calver) is an obstetrician, Herr Freud (Joy) champions the pleasure-principle, Herr Adler (eagle) the will-to-power, Herr Jung (young) the idea of rebirth, and so on. Are these whimsicalities of chance, or the suggestive effects of a name, as Stekel seems to suggest, or are they meaningful coincidences?
—Carl Jung, Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principal

Tolkien and Donaldson stand out as masters of this particular craft.
