I get an email notification of all bugs entered into our tracking system here at work. A bug just came in because some lady named Polly Ann is getting 2 copies of some email notifications. But I scanned the email quickly and read her name as Pollyanna. That made me do a double take. Why would you name your child Polly Ann when you know the Pollyanna jokes are going to rain down like Steve Kerr threes? Why not just name the child Pippi Longstockings?
So then I searched through our user database just to see if there were any Pippi's. Apparently nobody hates their children that much. No Pippi, Pippy, Pipi, or Pipy. And yes, I looked, no Pollyanna's either.

Shoot - I was hoping to name our baby Peter - Peter Pan
Ha! If we're going for a fictional character from a story, then we'll name him "Friday" from Robinson Crusoe. Then we can say things like, "Where's Friday?"
