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.

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.

Fun game: when people try to play this game with you, look them straight in the eyes and say "yes" as seriously as possible.

I work with a guy named Jason Voorhees. He was born after the character was already infamous.

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.

If you're nice you can then detail the namesakes crimes using the plot of a well known slasher film and hope they pick up on it.
