Does Anyone Know...?
Does anyone know a good, decent man called Ian?
I don't.

Oops.
Still, I never met him. Now you can ask a searching question if you like.

It just occurred to me this morning when I was walking round the park.
Three Ians I have actively disliked, none I have been keen on. Oh, Ian Rankin I suppose. Damn - Ian Hislop too. But maybe they're both shits if you meet them.

I've known a couple of Ians. They seemed alright to me.
Roberts, on the other hand. I've had a lot of trouble with employers named Robert. Every one of them has been dishonest and conniving.

I seem to have a lot of difficulties with Ben/Benjamins, myself.

I love Roberts, but I don't trust Bobbys. (Bobbies?)
I've never met a Brittany I liked. |

Every Marilyn I've ever met has been evil. And I have to agree about the Brittanys.
Doug, now - somehow Dougs always seem to be nice guys.

My friend believes there are two kinds of names for naming baby girls, Supreme Court Justice names and Stripper names. Brittany is definitely a Stripper name.

Walter (Gib) Gibson: Yeah, Nick. Nick's a real name. Nick's your buddy. Nick's the kind of guy you can trust, the kind of guy you can drink a beer with, the kind of guy who doesn't mind if you puke in his car, Nick!

Yeah, Ian McKellen. PLEASE NOTE: if there is anything uncool about Sir Ian McKellen, I don't want to know.
He's in my HOF with Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Christopher Lee. Attention English Royalty: I expect to--eventually--see Hugo Weaving on this list.

I have a stripper name
My sister has the name of a woman beloved by Dante. My brother has the Anglicised name of a Saint. Me, I get the name of someone who pops their chewing gum and has badly painted toenails. Thanks.
