Yes, he was wrestler who challenged the Teamster’s President to fight him in a Senate hearing. He’s that guy. Dumber than a box of rocks. A complete Trump rubber stamp with no clue what he is doing or talking about. Right now he insists that we are not at war with Iran, but Trump calls it a war himself and demands “unconditional surrender”. How can Iran surrender if they are not at war? Markwayne will bring a new level of stupid and incompetent to DHS.

I’m not so crass as to name a whole child after a fictional character in earnest, all I’m saying is it would be insanely easy to do so with the batfam and have it still be a normal ass name because at least three of them suffer from two first name syndrome. You’d barely even have to try.

Two first names

No point to this tangent, it’s just running through my head.

People with two first names (last name is also a common first name) are confusing, and it’s extra annoying when they’re celebrities. I put this into Heroes are Easy, People are Hard with the doctor no one can remember the name of, Clark Evans or Evan Clark. That’s a nod to Chris Evans and Clark Greg (Phil Coulson actor--is it Gregg? That’s less bad), of course, because it’s a Marvel fic, but actually the worst offender in Marvel is probably Sebastian Stan.

If you’re going to have two first names, the more unusual and/or longer one should be the last name. It just doesn’t feel balanced otherwise.

Oscar Isaac is also trouble.

And then there’s fictional characters, because keeping real people straight isn’t difficult enough! In Stargate, look no further than the main characters: Daniel Jackson! Jack O’Neil! Sam Carter! (At least Sam is short for Samantha. If she were a dude, given how often they all call each other by last names, I would have taken several episodes to be sure if he were Sam Carter or Carter Samuel.) And then later--CAMERON MITCHELL. Were they doing this on purpose? “How few actual surnames can we use on this show?” “Hmm. Give the general one. And then we’ll have alien characters instead of actual last names.” “Sounds good!”

I have no point here. I’m sleep-deprived enough be the cognitive-impairment equivalent of slightly tipsy. But I have OPINIONS.

PS. Harrison Ford kinda has two last names.

PPS. I actually can’t quite place the general’s name from Stargate, and if it’s a first name too, like David or something, I actually suspect the writers had something against last names. Maybe they promised to name a character after too many of their friends, and were like “No, we have to get Mitchell in, I lost a bet, and I promised!” “Okay, fine, we’ll change this new Cam character’s last name. Smith is boring anyway.”

I'm one of the fortunate or unfortunate (depending on your perspective) to have two first name, them being S***** Kirby. -- Anon Guest

There's just something about having a first name as a last name that gets to people. It's memorable, yes, but also... it can make nametags problematic. You would not believe the number of people who tell me it should be my surname in there or, in non-surname occasions, my given one. Then you get the accusations of being an impostor of some kind.

"I thought your name was Savannah," or, "I thought your name was Kirby." Small wonder, then, that people like me gravitate towards the kind of jobs where the full name is part of the identification. After that, there's the connection between certain names and popular franchise characters. Yeah. People in my family never quite make it to upper management and always watch their weight.

When there's one obvious joke to be made about you? Trust me, you will move heaven and earth to avoid it coming close to reality. Even when they use that joke anyway. It gets tiresome. Really tiresome.
