For example, I was doing research for a blog article and found a paper by a guy named Christian Messenger. That man was definitely destined for missionary work, but the paper was about football.

    I work in a 911 dispatch center, we used to have a frequent caller in our area whose first name contained the word “trash,” and, well, they were trashy. We had cops there pretty much every day for some dumb trashy domestic bullshit.

    Also took a call from a guy who’s name was very similar to “Roger Rogar.” Not his actual name, given the nature of my job I don’t want to give out any potentially identifiable information about my callers, but same basic pattern, first name exactly the same as his last name except for one letter and, at least as well as I could hear over the phone, pronounced exactly the same.

    Also a truly dumbfounding amount of girls named things like princess and diamond.

      trash

      Was it one of those commonly compounded first names like Marylou, Maryann, or Marytrash?
