For example, I was doing research for a blog article and found a paper by a guy named Christian Messenger. That man was definitely destined for missionary work, but the paper was about football.

A lot of fictional and probably actors/actress names are gonna hit this mark.

irl people are harder to find like: Usain Bolt, Lucifer of Cagliari and maybe~ Rick Santorum.

Or there's that guy... Charles Dickinson. Maybe his name is objective too~

Rick Santorum

Not sure if serious...

(Maybe thats the joke)

e: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campaign_for_the_neologism_%22santorum%22

And I just learned Dan Savage also coined the term "pegging". Maybe Dan Savage should change his name to "Damn! Savage."

Yup, you got it.

Santorum was the joke portion. I imagined like when teens yeet "Kobe!" but future people would then say "Oh, hey, there's an actual guy named like that... what a strangely objective name..."

Lol, if I were Dan, the best time for that would probably post mortem, so I won't have to deal with the potential confusion it brings.
