H G Wells - the father of science fiction -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._G._Wells In Electric City by Tom Hanks, there are characters named Welles, but it seems to be a confusion between HG Wells and actor Orson Welles. The other reference of course is to George Orwell. But some of the characters are lazily named - that is without making much creative effort, like "Roger Moore" and actually making the animated figure look like the real Roger Moore - just because a public figure cannot sue you, and anyway, malign intent has to be proved, But I am not a lawyer, do not take me word for it.

Height and dating--I think it's over-valued--like big breasts and thick lips in women.
