With a crackle and hiss the tiny goblin materialized in the center of the cavernous chamber. Disoriented, he glanced quickly from side to side, taking in the astonished looks of the small party of battle weary adventurers who had summoned him, before, finally and fatefully, looking up into the rapidly descending jaws of an enormous dragon. In a tiny, squeaky, quivering voice he uttered the only words of his brief and ill-fated existence... "oh shit".

A very strange question
What is a good name for a poltergeist? Yes I know, I know. Odd even for me, but I am serious. Help me come up with a good name. I am writing a book and need a good name for a character. I will choose the best and put it in.
Michaela for a younger female. Samuel for younger man.
Josephine for older female. Eustace for an older man.
Yes, I realize that's the name of the old man farmer from "Courage, the Cowardly Dog". But to me, it also sounds like a cranky old ghost, unhappy with current tenants.
Besides, Degolar took my Lummox suggestion already. : (

Roderick.
Peeves? Lummox? Sir Roderick? I have no idea, sorry.
"Dexter the poltergeist."
Guest: Dear God! What was that terrible noise?
Homeowner: Oh, that was just Dexter, our poltergeist. He's quiet most of the time, but he can be kind of a dick.
Young or old, and male or female?
Michaela for a younger female. Samuel for younger man.
Josephine for older female. Eustace for an older man.
