Names to Run Away From Really Fast/Shady Names

A form of Names to Run Away From Really Fast: When a character has a name referencing crime or criminality, you can't really be sure what you're dealing with.

Literature

 * Would you take anything a guy nicknamed Wormtongue says at face value?
 * His true name was Grima, and was given the name Wormtongue because of his Treacherous Advisor ways.
 * Doesn't make it much better. "Grima, son of Galmod", directly translated from Anglo-Saxon means "Mask, son of Licentious". Nice. Even in modern English, it just sounds "Grimy".
 * Would you expect anything other than monkey business from an ape named Shift?
 * Subverted with his friend Puzzle the Donkey, who's actually a good guy.
 * Lyra Silvertongue is a heroic example.
 * Would you trust a rat named Twirltongue?
 * Would you trust a man named Janos Slynt?
 * Would you vote for a Congressman named Hornswoggle?
 * Vermin in the Redwall series. When characters with names like Scumnose, Mangefur and Cheesethief knock on the door of your abbey, do you follow the dictates of peace and let them in, or do you put up all the barricades and start hunting down Martin the Warrior's sword?

Live-Action TV

 * Trust someone named Risky?
 * How 'bout Horace Schemer?

Music
