Odd research question, I know. Prefer a member of a relatively popular band, if possible. My character is secretly in love with boy bands, and often uses names of boy band members as insults. I have this character arguing with a guy named Kratz, and I'm looking for a name phonetically similar to Kratz for the following exchange: KRATZ I don't even trust you, murderer. DOUG Hey, I don't call you [boy band member], do I? KRATZ No, because it's pronounced Kratz! DOUG No, because [boy band member] is skinny, and you're too fat to be in a boy band, Fatone!
I've come at this the opposite way from Bruce. But I can't find any famous Fritz' or Ignatz' who were in boy bands, or think of any other first names that sound like Kratz. There might be surnames or nicknames. There's a list here - anything more obscure than this probably isn't going to amuse anyone - so I'd suggest to scroll through and knock yerself out https://boybands.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_boybands Zac Hanson?

@Alcove Audio @Rad Scribbler I think the OP wants to reference the name of an actual celebrity. And his work is sitcom screenplays so it's not a "what do I call my vampire?" thread. Although, Glatz would be a pretty cool name for a vampire trying to blend in with a boy band. A bit larger than the others, slight accent...
Why does this character use boy band names as an insult if he’s in love with boy bands? A question I never thought I’d be asking.
I could definitely see this being in some sort of vampire comedy. Dracula on the run from authorities, fabricates a new identity as a member of a boy band. Perhaps a scene in there where his pasty complexion gets people thinking he's bleaching his skin or something ("whitewashing"). I dunno. I like absurd comedies, so this may just work, lol.
I like the idea that he's the member of a boy band with an evolving lineup like Menudo and he's the only member that never ages out of the band...
