Disheartening to think no matter what I achieve in life I could only ever be at best the second most famous Brad.

My mom named me Brad after a really good one night stand she had in high school. My mom knows how to party.

I’m not even a Bradley. It’s Brad on the birth certificate.

This increases their chances of being played by Keanu Reeves in a biopic ten fold I believe.

It's an interesting cultural thing, like some names just detach over time "Stacy" is in fact short for "Anastasia", officially, but few Stacies actually have that on their birth certificate Same with "Toni" and "Antoinette" or "Antonia"

Buffy's name on Buffy the Vampire Slayer seems to literally legally be "Buffy" (Buffy Anne Summers) even though it's a nickname for "Elizabeth" Joss Whedon apparently was looking for silly, hyperfemme names in a baby name book and stumbled on that one

I mean his official name is "Joss", which was originally short for "Jocelyn", and then became a detached name for a boy when "Jocelyn" became a girls' name, so whatever

IIRC "Buffy" is only even a thing at all because it's how Queen Elizabeth II's sister Princess Margaret mispronounced "Beth" when they were little and the British press reported on it as an adorable thing
