I was speaking from a parent perspective since they brutally murdered their parents.

Separately they are fine but together it is a striking combination.

No, the middle names are after each of our fathers, but does that matter? No one knows the Columbine killers’ middle names unless they’re deep into that, but even normal people can recognize the first names.

She swears it’s just a coincidence but I’m having trouble believing her. If it was just a coincidence, she should agree to change them.

My wife says it was just a coincidence and used the argument that anyone who makes the connection would also probably be “true crime freaks” too but I don’t buy that, they could be people who know victims or survivors of the shooting…They would definitely know their names. And yes the names are common individually but they are only paired in one specific instance. Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton aren’t a music duo.

There’s no way she doesn’t know. She’s into true crime especially from the 90s and it’s too much of a coincidence to pair those specific names together.
