How is "Evel" an actual first name? Some combos ought to be given a free name change pass with the government. Crystal Metheny is one of my favorites. I'm always willing to trade up though. Anyone know a trad named Maude Ernest?

Edit: Well know I have absolute proof we have had Maude Ernests around before the 20th century:

From what I can tell they were very open about it.

No, it's a very, very common Maltese surname and it means 'chicken farmer' or something. You'd likely, if you were in Malta, see many a "Fr. Buttigieg".
But this is America. Only English-speaking biases and sensibilities apply here.

So, are you saying that his name influenced Pete Buttigieg to become gαy?

I'm glad he hasn't changed it, since it now servers as a reminder of who he is.

I know a lady who's an ER doctor, and she treated a black lady with twins.  The names on the charts were "Orange Jello" and "Lemon Jello".  Apparently the mom flipped when the doctor greeted them that way.  "It's O-rangelo" and Le-Mongelo!" she screamed.  (Pronunciation to rhyme with Michealangelo)

That's an Urban Legend.

He was probably teased a lot about it and maybe it did some damage, but I don’t buy that it was a huge influence. He is one demented individual, however.
