A thought occurred to me. Why don’t characters in American films like being called Virgil? Evidence: I know of three characters who appear in the following films: The Right Stuff (Virgil I. Grissom, “They call me Gus.”), The Great Escape (Captain Virigil Hilts, “Just make it Hilts.”) and The Abyss (Virgil Brigman, “`Virgil’?”). OK, only Grissom was a real person but why do writers do that? Is there some connotation in the name that I’m unaware of? I think The Aeneid is a great poem.

Yes, the Aeneid is most certainly a great poem! You can learn a lot from it!
@iankenway It is and there are others too of course like those by Homer (I know, that's Greek and not Latin).
