Since that was obviously a wild guess, it would have been pretty impressive if it was right!

No, there was memorable scene where Dr. Frasier Crane was using a pretense to talk to Sam about Diane and himself:

Quote:
Frasier: l have this patient. Let's call him -- give him any old name -- Thor.
[...]
Thor's girlfriend -- let's call her Electra -- cried out another man's name during the act of love.

Sam: Oh, Thor. Ouch.

Frasier: Precisely.
So usually, if a situation comes up in conversation when a person wants hypothetical names, and they're expecting something like "Alice" and "Bob" I offer "Thor" and "Electra."
Character naming conundrum solved!
