There's a villain or two with my first name - though they're fairly lame. But there's also some real-world douchenozzles who share it. And a... niche clothing company, you might say.

Also apparently:

Huh. I'm drawing a blank on villains called Nick. Unless you count stories about an evil Santa Claus.
Nick Nack (you could be forgiven for thinking there were K's at the beginning of both names) in Man With the Golden Gun. Played by Herve Villechaize (Eh boss, de plane, de plane)[DOUBLEPOST=1414106852,1414106622][/DOUBLEPOST]Also apparently the movie Double Jeopardy (1999) had a villain named Nicholas.

A cursory search for Dale as a villain name yields zero results.
In the back of my head, I swear I can recall some dialogue with a bad guy named Dale, but I can't remember from what. For all I know, it could have been a one-episode jerk from a tv series. This is going to bug me!

Sure you're not thinking of Nale?

Regarding Dave, I am reminded of this column by Dave Barry, who was bitter about Phillip Morris naming a cigarette line "Dave's".

http://www.miamiherald.com/living/liv-columns-blogs/dave-barry/article1937841.html

"The message is that "Dave's" is a folksy brand of cigarette, produced by a down-to-earth, tractor-driving guy named "Dave" for ordinary people who work hard and make an honest living, at least until they start coughing up big folksy chunks of trachea."

I needed a little help with this, but here you go.

Incidentally, I couldn't find any villains with my name (well, one came close, but it's spelled differently and short for Evelyn), but I did find out there's a game called Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective where one of the main characters is a redhead with the less-common, shared spelling of my name. Weird.

I know a girl in real life called Evelyn. Beautiful girl, very intelligent and witty, and enjoying a very successful career so far. She's also pure evil. I call her Evilyn. Seriously, she's evil. But in that dark, seductive, you-wouldn't-really-believe-me-capable-of-doing-that type of way.

Ok, I exaggerate, she's not pure evil. She's just a bit evil. Or moderately evil. Maybe just very evil on special occasions.

Point is... Evilyn. Yeah.

I can't think of any villains named Bryan. And the villain wiki pulled up two very minor characters who barely count as villains.

Bryan's just not an intimidating name. :D
 
I doubt there are any villains named Holly out there. I could go with the second half of my name and get Elizabeth Bathory though!
 
Well, there's Holly Summers in No More Heroes, or depending on how you want to look at it, Holly Would in Cool World. You could say she's a femme fatale, but that could be considered a villain. Her whole reason d'etre was "it's all about what I want and screw how it hurts anyone else!".

Man, It has been so long since I saw Cool World. I saw it when I was a kid. My parents thought it would be just as good as Roger Rabbit. They were so, so wrong.

That was the first time the realized that some cartoons aren't for kids.
