[Opinions] Re: Elroy?
in reply to a message by Llewella
I knew a kid from Mexico named Roberto... he went by Bert. Everyone always asked him where Ernie was. Eventually he told everyone to call him Rob. Poor kid.
My grandfather was named Mario. His brother? Luigi.
Of course, he had a brother named Samuel and a brother named Giuseppe (Joe) too.
The Super Mario connection was cool because of the characters though not tainted, so I suppose you could still use Mario and Luigi.

I went to school with a boy named Elmer, in the days when the Elmer Fudd character was well known. However, none of us thought to connect the two.
Oddly, at age about 10, his mother decided that her should be called Edward, his middle name. Went to the school to tell the teacher about it. The teacher tried her best to remember the new name..
In fact, Elmer, now Edward, didn't like the new name, and we kids all continued to call him Elmer, at his insistent request.

This reminds me
I actually had a good friend in elementary-middle school named Alvin. He did get teased a bit.
