More importantly, why did you feel the need to share this bit complete idiocy with more people?


Michael Bloomberg is a billionaire.
James "Jamie" Dimon is a billionaire
John Roberts is the Chief Justice of SCOTUS

Yet Mohammed and various spellings of it, is the most common male name in the world is borne by far more powerful men.

Roger can be their cousin across the pond.

Yep, Roger and Alistair are brothers.

Alistair is a slang term for penis?

Robert
Michael
James
John
Christopher

Really? These are the names of dentists. I guess Michael could own his own landscaping company and Christopher would make a good glass artist at Glen Echo. Certainly not powerful names. Fox5 "news" tends to suddenly turn from news into a Starbucks filled with shrieking teen girls -- which is when you have to change the channel if you've already graduated from high school -- and this is one of those "news" stories apparently.

Give me a good paragraph or two about your most powerful males with these names. Fiction preferred (obviously).

This is probably the real list, but these are too "normal" to sound powerful. In books they are always:

Maxwell
Baxter
Arthur
Baron
Alexander
Archibald
Clarence
Duncan
Oliver
Prescott
Reginald
Rupert

Maxwell and Baxter are romance novel stars -- which means they have oiled, glistening chests and know how to love-bomb but they're lovers with Archibald. They do grunt work like digging with pick axes in the hot sun -- see below. Clarence and Duncan are accountants, which is a perfectly fine profession; nothing fancy, pays the mortgage but not overly masculine. They manage the money for university research, including for Oliver and Prescott, archeologists on a dig, while Reginald is their project manager. Reginald is doing the entire team dirty by plotting to steal the artifacts and sell them to shady actors who pass them along to museums -- i.e., Rupert. Oliver sips tea -- or sips on tea or slurps tea -- in the shade of his canvas tent to avoid the bugs. No one has figure out his role yet.

“Baxter” is a name fit only for a cat.

Or maybe a hamster.

The butler.

The Butler is Geeves. Baxter is the cat. And Phineas is the dog.

Or a dog that poops in the fridge and eats a whole wheel of cheese. Ron was a powerful name. The kind that invented the wheel or built the Eiffel Tower out of metal and brawn.
