I know it was you, Flacido. You broke my heart.

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).

Powerful male names are monosyllabic.

No-nonsense guys you are glad to have around when things don’t go well:

Tony

In the UK, it’s Roger.

Roger can be their cousin across the pond.

Yep, Roger and Alistair are brothers.

Alistair is a slang term for penis?

So are Dick, Willy, Johnson, and Peter.

Yes, but Alistair?

All wrong.

There are only three:

Ace
Butch
Lance

Why not Attila ? I like Attila. It is popular in some countries.

Alexander does not belong on that list of white trash names. That one is more in like with Andrew, William, Christopher, Matthew, etc.

Marcus Aerelius always resented his adopted name. His family was a tangled mix of kin and enemy, with most focused solely on keeping a connection to the empire, however tenuous. All of his friends knew this about him, so whenever he was called Marcus Aurelius Verus Caesar he knew it was someone trying to impress but who knew nothing about him. He had gone up through the ranks like any other plebe -- in fact, he had started as a humble floor sweeper before he was ever adopted into the line of the throne -- and so he recognized butt-kissing for what it was. Still, because of all the time he had spent loading dishwashers and tossing dough in the air, he was very good to his staff. Soon the chain was bought by a corporation and began making Americanized pizza instead of Roman. And Marcus Auelius, by then known as Marcus Aurelius Verus Caesar, climbed his way to the top of the corporate ladder, and made a huge fortune by selling out. He was massively wealthy, but to the dishwashers and floor moppers who knew him way back then, he was known as the last of the good bosses, the Pax Romana. Long live Little Caesars.

Anonymous wrote:I expected to see Jimothy Oliver on that list.

Jimothy's mother went to a card reader at the local fair when she was a young woman, and asked her how she could marry her boyfriend. She was told she should not marry him, that he was not the right man for her. "But I want him," said Jimothy's mother. The card reader dramatically wiped all the cards toward her, collected them in a big pile and said, "Then you shall have him."

Soon it was true -- she married Mr. Oliver and within a year they had a boy. They named him Jimothy, in honor of the man's grandfather, Timothy, who was a bit daft and couldn't pronounce his own name correctly.

Jimothy was a perfectly normal baby, or so it seemed, and yet he always had a faraway look in his eyes, as if he were seeing something of grave importance just over your shoulder. He was such a serious baby it made people turn and look, and swear they saw something off in the distance, something they couldn't put their finger on.

The second part of the card reader's prophecy also came true -- Mr. Oliver was not the right man for Mrs. Oliver, and when Jimothy was a wee lad they divorced. Raised by a single mother, he had plenty of time on his hands -- and no one to protect him from the neighborhood bullies. He often came home bruised and dirty, and had to clean his bloodied knees by himself. He grew quite adept at it and grew up to become a respected doctor. But he never lost the faraway look in his eyes. One night he was arrested for being a peeping tom. When asked by the judge why he had done it, he said, most people don't bother looking. They only see the outside.

What about Cornelius ?
