minus-square@BeanGoblin@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilink12•9 months agoOoooh ok, so then his full name is Napoleon Boney Montana.
minus-square@bstix@feddit.dklinkfedilinkEnglish3•edit-29 months agoI went into a rabbit hole. Tony Montana is named after Joe Montana. The name Hannah Montana was made up by Miley Cyrus. The character was originally named Alexis Texas, but they went with her suggestion. Alexis Texas (the adult film star) is a combination of her actual middle name and the state of Texas where she’s from.
