HelpRe: two real head-scratchers from the newspaper ...
in reply to a message by RoxStar
I love the name Mary, but I still think Mary Christmas is way too much. Names shouldn’t be puns, in my opinion.
I think today, fortunately, most people wouldn’t connect the name Richard Speck with the killer, but maybe I’m wrong. That’s the problem with very common names — there are bound to be some bad people who share them.

the prime example ...
Of an uncommon name being associated with a bad person?
There's a radio football announcer for the Baltimore Ravens named Gerry Sandusky.
There is also, of course the famous Penn State football coach named Jerry Sandusky who is now in prison for molesting young boys.
Now, how many people do you know with the last name Sandusky?
How many people with the same uncommon last name, the same except for one letter first name, and both are involved in football?
Gerry Sandusky had to pause during a broadcast at the height of the Penn State scandal to remind everybody that "I'm Gerry with a G. He's Jerry with a J."
And to top it off, Jerry Sandusky's full first name is Gerald, so he could very easily have been a Gerry with a G too.
