Went to high school with a girl who's dad was named Foster Goodwill
My father went to high school with someone whose last name was Butts. His parents named him Harold and called him, and thus his friends called him, Harry. I always kind of thought it was a tall tale until my father showed me his high school yearbook one day And there was a picture of Harry Butts.
I always kind of wanted to meet this man and his wife and ask her if he lived up to his name.
There's a government spy project called Palantir. Kind of on the nose to LOTR nerds like me. For those who don't know, the palantirs were the crystal balls in LOTR that wizards could use to communicate or remote view what other palantirs could see.
Yes and the bastards won a contract with the NHS and they're fucking evil.

In just death stranding, you've got Deadman, Heartman, Diehardman, Mama, Sam Porter Bridges, Fucking ameLIE, AKA Samantha America Strand... fuck
A lot of fictional and probably actors/actress names are gonna hit this mark.
irl people are harder to find like: Usain Bolt, Lucifer of Cagliari and maybe~ Rick Santorum.
Or there's that guy... Charles Dickinson. Maybe his name is objective too~
Rick Santorum
Not sure if serious...
(Maybe thats the joke)

And I just learned Dan Savage also coined the term "pegging". Maybe Dan Savage should change his name to "Damn! Savage."
Yup, you got it.
Santorum was the joke portion. I imagined like when teens yeet "Kobe!" but future people would then say "Oh, hey, there's an actual guy named like that... what a strangely objective name..."
Lol, if I were Dan, the best time for that would probably post mortem, so I won't have to deal with the potential confusion it brings.
