      So is Christ, and therefore Christine and Christopher. Or Rex. Or Duke… Or Earl… Or Lady… Or Baron.

      Bishop.

      Pope.

      Smith.

      I’m sure there are more.

          “Major Major had been born too late and too mediocre. Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them. With Major Major it had been all three. Even among men lacking all distinction he inevitably stood out as a man lacking more distinction than all the rest, and people who met him were always impressed by how unimpressive he was.”

        Smith is a profession more than a title, and is also generally a surname. I’ll give you Christopher and Rex though

      At least Arya doesn’t go full speedrun genocidal maniac because the showrunners are bored and think they have Star Wars money coming.

      Never name your kid or your dog after a character until the who is over, folks! Cats? It’s fine.

        I disagree, as cats are longer lived than dogs; wanna give your dog a stupid name, go for it

        This may or may not have anything to do with the fact that I have three cats and zero dogs

          LOL, it’s more that I’m less concerned finding out a cat is named after a woman who just wanted to watch the world burn, and I presume the cat would be too.
