The name Monroe contest!
fernly:
Hey Leslie,
I was thinking...Annie said she didn't invent any names, just looked in newspapers, etc....Monroe's a grocer, probably belongs to the local Chamber of Commerce...googled Wyoming Chamber of Commerce...got Lander's C of C, which includes Riverton. There're a lot of names, (unusual sounding and not), whether for Monroe or any future characters.
A few that caught my eye - Birkle, Brace, Trautman....

Birkle? That's perfect! Definately quirky enough!
Brown Eyes:
Wow, fernly, that's very resourceful! Are there any clues from inside Monroe's grocery store in the film? Any signs or anything that might provide a clue? I've never thought about this problem before. I'll think about it tonight when I watch the movie again.
dmmb_Mandy:
How about 'Lanford'; Monroe Lanford. I like it.

(I googled: Wyoming Monroe)
Jeff Wrangler:
Well, so what's the verdict after all the input?
"Fisk" sounds awfully New England to me, MaineWriter. ;)
If it isn't too late, I'll put in my two cents for something like "Dunlap."
Monroe Dunlap.
Hmm, if you don't use that one, maybe I will, as I may have a need to give him a name.
Or, I like to make little plays off the story. In the AP original, the grocer's name is Bill, as in "I'm goin' a yell for Bill!" at Thanksgiving. How about something like Monroe Bilson, or Billings, or Billups?
Hmm, maybe I ought a use one a those!
