Russell? Seriously?

Like many of you, I am addicted to HBO's True Blood. Best. Show. Ever. Certainly the best vampire show. How then, did they come up with the bone-headed scheme of naming a 3,000 year-old vampire king Russell? Seriously? Russell means "red" so I can see the meaning, but seriously. A tri-millenial vampire should surely rank a spookier name than Russell. However, since they feel this name is fitting, and from the storyline, it looks pretty certain that King Russ is going to be offed soon, I have some alternate names for the replacement king: Cuthbert Bubba Joe Billy Bob VI…
