Dammit, thought for sure my boy’s name would be on there.
We watched nothing but SOA during my wife’s pregnancy and decided to name our little boy Jaxxxxon. I told the wife we needed at least 2 more ‘X’s in there.

Knew an Orion growing up. Always thought that was a cool name. My wife taught a kid named Jazzman, which is a sweet name for somebody living in New Orleans.

The "I want to speak to the manager" ladies were born in the 60's. Sounds about right.

Until he starts applying for jobs and his resume gets thrown out due to name alone.
