Talking The character Gloria Hickey...and that last name

Why on earth was this character given such a horrible last name? I mean, Hickey????? Was this done on purpose? I know they had to know what hickey means. Was it an inside joke? I am surprised Shirley Jones didn't raise an eyebrow abt that.

Probably just a coincedence...Names for TV show characters are picked at random, in an attempt to keep them as fictional as possible ( To avoid lawsuits ...remember Dragnet:" The names have been changed, to protect the innocent"? ) There are exceptions to this, like characters on shows that parodied something such as M*A*S*H, which were sometimes deliberately named like Col Flagg and General Steele, but, thats an exception , more than the rule.
The characters on Corner Gas are all named for towns in Saskatchewan, btw ! ( The main character Brent Leroy, is named for Leroy Sask, for instance )

Well, Snake was a nickname and the guy (Rob Reiner) was a biker, so that doesn't matter.
