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

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.

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.

Your welcome.
