I think you may have missed Kilgore Trout and Zaphod Beeblebrox, two of my personal favorites, but good luck getting a proper photo of either one. BTW, Frankenberry is only a surname...his first name is actually Dave. [citation needed]

Excellent list, and prime for lengthy additions via comments.

My personal favorite is Staff Sargent Maxwell Fightmaster. He's real. Google him.

After that, it's Max Plank. Damn that's good name.

I was always fond of Milo Minderbinder.

The spelling is actually Max Planck, unless this Max Plank is a different person from the famous physicist.

It detracts not one iota from the name to know that Sid was named after a hamster who bit him.

And in addition to Kilgore Trout and Zaphod I would add PKD's Horselover Fat.

Oh, damn, and how could I forget Usain Bolt?

I copied and pasted the good Dr. Planck's name. Yep. I'm lazy enough to cheat off the bad student.
