I work with a guy named Jason Voorhees. He was born after the character was already infamous.
I almost had the same name as a man who committed some very famous murders soon after I was born. My parents chose a different first name for me, but his was in the running. They told me they would've changed my name if they had picked the murderer's name.
Yeah, Oba Chandler would have been a pretty tough name to grow up with, so I'm glad they didn't go with that one, too.
"...Like the cult leader that killed all those children?"
No, the other one.
Oh, the cannibal? Much less charismatic, but you do you.
I knew a couple who got pregnant and they named their kid Dallas. They had a relative named Dallas who killed their parents.
Guess they didn't like the parents, huh?
I thought this was going to have a Debbie does Dallas link instead of the dark place it went.
Well damn, good on them for moving on
Well, they were both too young to really know the parents and it's a not a very close relative. It's really just a story to them and not something they experienced.
