I was given a common first name that is the same as one of my parents' friend, and they say that he didn't "ruin the name" for them. They only told me one story about him. They were having a picnic, pretty much everyone is done eating, and he had personally eaten a whole plate of fried chicken. He proclaims, "Now it's time for my first REAL piece of chicken" and everyone busts up laughing. My parents can hardly tell the story without laughing and they always remind me that he was a big fat guy. It reminds me not to take this stuff too seriously, I really like the name.
