Speaking of good actor names, lets talk about characters who are very well named. Nicknames will do as well, so long as they have multiple vague meanings:

Voldemort: In French it means 2 things: Flight of Death and Flight from Death. Both are equally appropriate to the character.

Darth Vader: Vader is Father in Dutch (although I think it was merely coincidence), and Darth does sound alot like Dark.

Han Solo: Just a bad arse name, and add Indiana Jones to this as well.

Littlefinger: Comes from the smallest of the fingers, hence his nickname. But everyone thinks he's as harmless as a "little finger" and even takes up a harmless bird as a sigil. But is all just a front for being anything but that, being an incredibly vicious and dangerous sociopath underneath.

Hannibal Lector: Just from the name, I'm pretty much told everything I need to know about the character.

Tony Montana: Another just all around badass name.
