    It's something about the name ending with "er."  Take Resident Evil's Albert Wesker for instance.

    Villian names typically do better with an "er" sound.


    Wesker
    Sylar
    Darth Vader

    I can't hear "Kessler" without thinking "Kepler".  He was also pretty bad ass. :)

    Anyway, yes, I agree!  The "ss" is reminiscent of a snake sound, and the throaty "er" is pretty sinister.  It's not exactly a correctonym a la Dickens, but it sounds good.

    Darth Vader     almost gets a pass because it was the 70's. Also, HitlER

    Except the fact that it sounds like a sandwich! ;)  Kidding, kidding.  And yes, "Cole McGrath" sounds just too much like "Tim McGraw" for me to take it completely seriously.

    They were going to use the name of Kessler instead of Kramer for Seinfeld.
