Soapiest Names in ABC History!! In reading KellyB's column, I was reminded of some of the wonderful soap names we've loved over the years. Kelly laments the loss of true soapy names like Skye, Luke and Jax, you know... back when soap names were absolutely sudsy. Unlike "Manny," and "Margaret" and "Ryan," we had some truly soapy names in the past and still have some now here and there. I have comprised a list of what I consider to be some of the soapiest names in ABC Daytime History hands down. Sometimes, you have to hear both the first and last name to get the full impact. Here are my submissions in no particular order or with show affiliation (go pee and get a drink, it's going to go on for a while): Angel Stone Jagger Snapper (Y&R - David Hasselhoff! Germans, LOVE David Hasselhoff! Of course, this is not an ABC soap, but you've got to admit, it's a good name, right? SNAPPAH! Plus, we need just one nonABC exception to prove the rule) Duke Lavery Billy Clyde Tuggle Cesar Faison Stavros Stefan Summer Ursula Blackwell Carlo Frisco Blackie Decker Coltin Shore Frankie (for a female) Luna Ina Mae Hopkins Marco Dane Mario Meredith The Tin Man Hutch Nico Chase Sage Alcazar Zander Mason Carmine Renaldo Venus/V Mariah Dominique Tiffany/Elsie Mae Crumholtz Donely Suede Pruett Buzz Stryker Rafe D.L. Dara Lucky Crane Tolliver Sly Eckert Ty Price Trainer Talbot Huddleston Eli Traeger (and where *IS* Eli???) Lorna VanSkyver Echo DiSavoy Flash (as it turns out, not the savior of the universe or anything else) Adrianna Hayes Barber Beauregard Buchanan Katherine Delafield Shep/Casey the Alien Ivan Kipling Alex Olanov (Mayor Alex Olanov and a female!) Slick Jones Chloe Marcus Luna Simone Starr Nora Hanen Gannon Buchanan Drew River Gabrielle Blaize Dallas Moonbeam and Tarot (what Luna Holden told people she named her twins, who were actually named Frank and Leslie) Demorest (Duke Buchanan's real name) Cassie Jacara Ian Armitage Cordero Bulk Blade Goldie Kane Astrid Augustico (Tico) Keesha Krystal Silver Palmer Dimitri Angelique Anton Corvine An Li Noah Braden Zeke Autumn Gia Justus Filomena Brooke Dusty Juan Carlos Liza Miranda Mona Raquel Gretel Rae Hector Tad Pilar Petey Bitsy Tara Zora Colby Kendall Dixie Arabella/Babe Creed Zach Slayter (my vote for soapiest name EVER - even better than Snapper) Trevor Travis Oyster Cracker Cecily Boyd Olga Swenson Clair Declairville Claudette Bianca Enid Nigel Daisy Axel Alfred Vanderpool Aidan Gabriel Sarah Valentine Jamal Helga Voynitzheva Millicent Steve Jacobi Kit Del
