I have got to ask as apart from the movie I cannot find any reference to any person named Bullitt. So, it it a real name or something made up like many of Charles Dickens characters.
Great kit going on here, there is another being built only a key stroke away ;)

 

It was Steve McQueen's character's name in the movie Bullitt.

Yes fair enough but does/has any person living or dead ever had the name Bullitt, i.e  Peter Bullitt, Geoffrey Bullitt etc. It seems a weird name that I cannot find any reference to, no obituary's etc. :(

Besides the movie, I know the name from the county in Kentucky (I have a cousin that lives there) and there is a Bullitt family that county was named for for.

Good old Wikipedia. Thanks for that, and the house of names, interesting because I gave up looking after two pages of references to car chases, directors and soundtracks etc. Appears the Bullitt's died out around 1957, leaving poor old Frank to carry on the name ;)
