On to the conversation:

> Well, Shakespeare made up all sort of words & they have meanings!

One difference being that people other than Shakespeare have used his words since then.

> Ok. Julius does sound very Vampirey. But then it also sounds like the name of Gorillas since I know of 2 comic book characters (one from Marvel & the other from DC) where their name is Julius. One's a Nazi who then became a Vampire & the other a Gangster who was called Big Julie.

My guess is that most writers who use it are trying to evoke a sense of Julius Caesar in their characters, since he remains arguably the most famous Julius in history.

> I don't think Cook is all that funny. He's kind of annoying in fact. But then I might not be his target audience.

Actually, I agree, and so would Dream. His comment would be intended to be seen as a dig at the fact that Cook is notorious for ripping off other people's material.
