I had a client named Mike Cox. Rad dude, but I giggle to myself every time he answers the phone “Hello this is Mike Cox…”

You gotta wonder what Mr. and Mrs. Cox were thinking naming their son Michael. Or Holden…

I knew a Michael Hunt growing up. His life in our rural Texas school went about as well as you could imagine.

Had a buddy who’s last name was Richards, his dad’s name was Harry.

Harry Richards… it had to be on purpose right?

Knew a man who’s last name was Weiner. Parents named him Seymour. Maybe his parents first language wasn’t English.

Oh man, you’re getting rare enough with that name that there’s probably not a lot of options. Nothing to gain and kinda weird, but that’s unique enough that it’s probably 5 minutes of google to figure out.
