I went to grade school with a Jimmy Dickey. He lived up to his name because in sixth grade he became a giant perv and all he would talk about was penis and masturbating and porn.

Waited on a guy named Lon Glover today, and if you move the G to the left his name's Long Lover and that's hilarious.

It's not weird in and of itself, but I've got a meeting this Wednesday with a Greek guy whose first name is Thanos. I intend to be professional and not ask how his life has changed since last summer.

I know someone who named her daughter Elsa 3 months before Frozen came out. At the time, she was hopeful the movie's popularity would be short-lived and not too many people would make the connection; I wonder how long it took for that hope to be shattered.

My daughter was born shortly after Frozen came out and is called Anna for entirely unrelated reasons, so I feel this pain Most people have at least stopped assuming it's pronounced with the long A like the movie

I worked at Boston University for a few years in the early 2000's, and the head of the Building & Grounds department at the time was named Dick Falcon. He has since passed away, sadly. RIP to Dick Falcon.

Living in the Netherlands there are so many silly Dutch names in English. Joke, Freek, Door, Harm and Kok. It's a chapter of a book my wife gave me to help me acclimate:

Joke is a fairly common name in Flanders (the -ke suffix for diminutives is typically Flemish although its usage is more general when it comes to names). I know one who lived in England for a bit and she did tell us that she was often slightly embarrassed when it came to her name, even though it's pronounced completely differently. Freek is very Dutch-Dutch, and I have literally never heard of anyone with the first names of Door, Harm, or Kok. Maybe Doortje, which is a diminutive of Dorothea.

On Halloween, I watched a Dutch movie from 1983 called "De Lift," and I can say it's definitely the best movie about a bank of elevators coming alive to gently caress with and kill people I've ever seen. Also, it was directed by Dick Maas, who is a pioneering example of the Dick Más mentality.
