Ironic pun, or accidental irony?

Rating: Null/10 (25 May 2002)

Pacino's character, who cannot sleep, is named Dormer. Dormer is similar to the French "dormir" and Latin "dormire", meaning "to sleep". I wonder if this was intentional. Regardless, I enjoyed this movie very much. Who thought two such over-the-top actors as these two could deliver nuanced performances?
