"Diogenes enters a mall." "His name is Diogenes?" "Yes." "In 2018?" "Yes." "Do his parents hate him?" "I don't know." "You're the narrator!" "I'm limited 3rd-person, not omniscient." "Why's he at a mall?" "I can't tell you." "Why not?" "Your questions used up all the characters."

My ex wanted to name our son Diogenes, said he was his favourite Ancient Greek (I suspect he knew very little about him).

I argued hard for "Django" (after the guitar player, not the film character) but perhaps luckily for everyone, we had a daughter instead.

I met a couple who named their kid after the guitar player and regretted it because everyone always asks them why they named their kid after a slave from a Tarantino movie.

Yeah, this was before that movie came out. The weird thing is, the character originally comes from Italian westerns -- and the name is Romany. Names can be many things!
