How about a languid, drippy, Lana del Rey-style version? Minus the racism and cop-shagging, of course. e: I'm thinking Nouvelle Vague might absolutely kill this, come to think of it.

I don’t really want to sign up for one of those spammy ancestry sites to view the actual birth records but apparently there are people out there with the surname Goatse

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexhowquote:A legendary dragon that plagued the village is a folk tale known as The Worm of Sexhow. It was described as being a beast that would feed on dairy and breathe out fire to burn farmers crops. One day, a knight came into the village, slew the beast and rode out again. The beast's scaly skin was said to have been displayed inside nearby Hutton Rudby church.[7]

How(e) is middle english for hill from old norse haugr (which I think also gives us "high") and sex is apparently derived from Sekk which is a name, so it's Sekk's Howe.

Apologies for the double post, but I was putting my university's graduation announcements together and I am both sad and happy to say that one of the students has the first name of Semen. Obviously, English is not this person's first language, but as the university is English-only... welp. e: Oh, god, it's a Basque name and it SHOULD be spelled "Xemen" but of course they Spanified it.

A friend of mine works for Health and Human Services, and one of the cases he was running today had a man named James who named both his son and daughter James. Because he wanted to make sure there were no mistakes, he dug a little deeper, and discovered that Daddy James's own father and brother are also both named James.
