Why did Shakespeare choose to name a character “Bottom” in A Midsummer Night's Dream? His name is a common one for silly characters in Shakespeare. His name shows that he represents the ordinary man, someone sturdy and reliable. His name describes his appearance since he has a large bottom. His name is a joke that connects to his behavior and to what happens to him.

The answer is "His name is a joke that connects to his behavior and to what happens to him."
Nick Bottom, also known "Bottom" is the only person who can move from the fairy and human world. His name was also derived from a joke and is often the center of jokes. His role is often endeared despite the false bravado, he is considered to be "innocent" by most characters.
