[Opinions] Re: Denzil
That happened to me too! It's freaky, I know exactly how you feel. Not with Denzil, but other names. For example, a few months ago I first heard the name Aloysius, and I thought, well that's a cool name,never really heard it before. Well the next day on the TV show I was watching, the host was Aloysius. Then the next day, I see an obituary for someone named Aloysius, then I learned my cousins Uncle Al's real name was Aloysius. Not just that name, tons of others. Always thought it was short for Alfred or Alexander.

It's called the Rutebega affect. Or maybe the Winnebago effect, I can't remember. Anyway, it means that once you hear a word or idea, you will start to notice that word or idea more often because it is in the forefront of your mind. Happens with cool name to me all the time!
