    The snake was based on someone called Snake Pliskin and that Hals last name was based on Hideo's favorite Director.

    John Doe is a name used by Police to address an unidentified corpse (not directly obviously).

    He uses it twice. The first time to Paramedic and she calls herself Jane Doe to show that she doesn't want to give him her name.

    The second time to Ocelot, he replies with Adamska, using the Female suffix, to show that it is not his real name.
    Word/s.

    Not at all. He's just "David," no last name given, and he was named after David Forrester, Meryl's counterpart in Policenauts. And also, like you said, David Bowman from 2001: A Space Odyssey, to complete the "HAL and Dave" joke.

    Hate you.

    But at least I got the one up with the Escape from New York reference >=(

    ...Though I'm sure you knew that as well.

    Actually, doesn't Snake just say his name is Dave, not David.

    He calls himself David, and then Meryl/Otacon calls him Dave.

    As for Big Boss, the official MGS3 website specifically says that Jack is his only his nickname. And since Jack is a nickname for John, he must have been telling Ocelot the truth inside the WiG.

    Sons of Liberty and ACID were the best.

    Solidus is George Sears, and we don't even know Liquid's first name, much less his last.

    That's a feminine form? Hmm. We know that Ocelot's surname is Ivan, since Raven calls him "General Ivan" in MGS. I guess his first name would be... Adam? Adamski?
    I'm curious about the translation of "Shalashaska", too.

    Ivan was a common nickname used to refer to the Russians.

    Shalashaska is slang for 'prison' in Russian, and apparantly it was given to him during the Soviet invasion of Afganistan due to his reputation as a Sadist.

    Yes, "General Ivan" is just a nasty remark referring to the fact that Ocelot is Russian. Vamp calls him "Crazy Ivan" in MGS2, as well, but it's not his actual name. It's the same as calling an American guy "Johnny," a Mexican guy "Miguel," etc.
