If I ever become a local traffic reporter, I'm going by the name Stan Still.

A friend's dad was an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Savage.

My last name is Hart. Can find it in some older stories, I first read it in Robin Hood when I was 10. It’s a stag, or male adult deer, usually a red deer I think. Kinda neat.

The podcast "No Such Thing as a Fish" has a long running nominative determinism gag, can't remember any off the dome but they usually have one every few episodes

My surname traces back to a 12th century German knight who, along with his brother, was granted large swaths of land in Hungary. He eventually became the second highest ranking official in the kingdom (behind the King) and had his own clan named after him.

I can thank my grandparents for being super into genealogy.

Got my wisdom teeth pulled out by a dentist named Jolly Johnson, I may have posted that here before lol. My last name, Rockett, it's really cool but mostly annoying since I was a little kid, get a lot of comments about that one...
