when I started reading I didn’t think I’d ever met anyone with a really outlandish name, but damnit, as I read, I kept having flashbacks to my childhood in Columbia, Maryland, where I knew the following kids:
Penny Hapenny
Major DeBarry
Wednesday Willoughby
twins named LaCreda and LaDedra (can’t recall the last name)
Daiquiri Jones
…and then there’s the (now former) contestant on the TV show The Apprentice: Bowie Hogg. No, really.
