I have noticed an interesting trend related to people's names that are
unusual or unusually spelled. The replacement words uncannily match
certain aspects of the individual's personality.
For example, Keni brings back Keno (The guy has a bit of a wheeler
dealer/hustler persona that he falls into during work related
conversations.) I have other examples, but they aren't always
complimentary of the people described.
Thanks,
