Who would you vote for ...

Who would you rather vote for - Frankenstein, Hitler, or Tony Curtis? That's the decision facing some voters in India ... Have you ever run across other 'repurposed' names?
Dang it... that was meant for the blimp post. My apologies. I'll get to you in a second.

Easy answer. "Tony Curtis" all the way, maybe even above the other repurposed names of "Churchill" and "Roosevelt", but then, I always loved "Some Like It Hot". Still, if someone named their kid "Jack Lemmon", or "Joe E. Brown", I'd probably think it over. Then again, if the parents intended "Roosevelt" to pay tribute to BOTH American Presidents of that name, I'd be quite impressed. Still, didn't some of the names sound like they came out of '60s hippie communes? Which is why future generations will be relieved that I haven't had the opportunity to name any offspring: "Bullwinkle" would be a terrible name for a girl.

Hmm... Frankenstein. Being from the western world, I like my politicians prefabricated.

He also has an electric personality. Plus, he's a real stitch.
I'll stop.
