What's in a Name?

I couldn't help but notice one of the earlier characters name and what it might signify. Hemingway didn't simply conjure up the name "Count Mippipopolous." No, I believe the name played a part in the characterization of the so-called count. He was described as a big man; likely so considering he "owns a chain of sweet shops in the States" (pg 40). His big, goofy name enables readers to understand more the silliness of his manner and speech. I can picture his walrus-like face calling Brett "dear" and talking about how having a title can cost one money (64) as the elk tooth which hangs around his necks dangles in the air. Just picture the guy! He resembles very nicely a Mippipopolous. His name also provokes the grandeur of his character compared to Jake and the friends he hangs around with because the Count is more proper in a sense that he does not jealously handle Brett; rather, he acts in a mature, sophisticated way.
