Lott Dod. Mr. "THIS IS INCREDIBLE."
They even poke fun at the the name of Savage Opress in one episode of Clone Wars.
Someone is looking at the bounty on him and asks "What kind of name is Savage Opress?" pronouncing it you would pronounce those words normally.
Clone Wars had a Kaminoan named Halle Burtoni, it was never directly confirmed by anyone on the show, but she was more than likely named after the oil company, Halliburton, which was criticized for its connections to the Iraq War and Dick Chaney.

How do you feel about "Owen Lars"?
Their design is totally based on Reagan
"That's what I'm afraid of."
At least they didn’t go with the original “Starkiller” name, although they finally figured out how to shoehorn it into the canon with that planet-gun.
I remember when the action figures for TFA were first announced, there was a variant of Rey wearing Finn's jacket from after she escaped captivity on Starkiller base. The figure was listed as "Rey Starkiller" which I mistakenly assumed was the character's full name. It made me laugh that the name which was considered inappropriate for a protagonist in 1977 was apparently okay in 2015.
There was also a screenshot of an interview going around back then with a caption under Daisy Ridley labeled “Rey Kenobi”. That one caused quite the little shitstorm. 
Friend of mine felt Rey Kenobi was a viable theory.
Are there Generals Envy and Sloth, too? Or maybe Envee and Slauth?
True, but Pryde's surname being so in our faces is, like, only the 110th thing wrong with TROS.
Richard E. Grant's General Pryde didn't quite crack my list of Top 5 reasons TRoS is the best Sequel Trilogy episode, but he might well make the top ten. The big question is, does Pryde killing Hux count as its own reason, or does it simply fit into the Pryde reason as a whole?
My main problem with General Pryde was that he seemed to just come out of nowhere. TFA and TLJ carry the implication that Hux was the First Order's highest ranking military officer and that no one in the First Order is above him besides Snoke, and then Kylo Ren after Snoke is killed. Which the supposedly "canon" tie in material even confirmed. Then in TROS, there's Pryde, who outranks Hux and has been around since the Empire.
I really wish he'd been in at least TLJ before dropping out of nowhere in TROS. He'd have made an excellent First Order senior character and voice of authority across most or all of the Sequel Trilogy. Then when he suddenly dons a Final Order uniform at Exegol it can be his last act of unswerving loyalty to Palpatine, the final decision in a career going back to the time of the Original Trilogy.
