      My father said they did the same thing in Wales when he was a kid. A lot of people share the same last names in Wales, so they'd say "Davis the post" for Mr. Davis the postman, and "Davis the shop" for the Mr. Davis who had the shop in town.

          Yes! This is why I’m Gwen Investor 😂 I get so much pushback though, “are you one dimensional?” It’s not about me, it’s about ease of reference 🤓

          Bc. saying that founders have all the same [white anglo boy's] names is a damning indictment of startup game as a "well-connected club of friends rubbing elbows", rather than the meritocracy their business pretends to be... And being so clueless that he tweeted it out loud...
