Does this name remind you of intestines?
Does the surname Colan make you think of intestines since it's pronounced exactly like Colon ?

Nope
Written down, it reminds me more of Cola (soda).

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG! YES.

Yes!

Yes, though I've never seen it before. I have seen Colon, but that's usually pronounced more like cologne.
YES!! LOL I love the name Collins... but I still feel like I would think of Colon... lol
