[Alexander Smith]

Wow. That's fandom.

A woman I used to work with named her daughter, Strummer (after Joe).

When the wife and I were throwing names around for our children, I  
did throw "Geordie" and "Raven" into the mix, but they were both shot  
down in swift course (in the same way I nixed "Imogen" and "Cordelia").
