They may be considered a clue of the plot, a description of the appearance of the characters, a presentation of their characteristics or personalities, or even an indication of their fates. Most writers hide their standpoints, hopes, likes and dislikes in the names of the characters. Besides, characters’ names, if cleverly designed,canusuallyputreadersintoimaginationwhileaddingnewflavortothelanguage. Since names usually give vivid images of the characters, show their temperaments and even suggest their fates, writers always try to employ different linguistic techniques in naming their characters to achieve these goals. Of all the linguistic techniques, rhetorical devices are the most effective ones. Thus the paper tends to analyze two types of names given in literary works, that is, one type of names designed to create puns on the phonetic level and the other type designed to create puns on the semantic level, and to discuss the methods of theirtranslation. 1.
