Someone pointed out to me a day or so ago that they skipped “Mu” and “Nu.”

They skipped Nu and Xi. Supposedly because "Nu" was too close to "New," and "Xi" was a name. Just a name, not the name of any leader of a very large Asian country, just that it was a name.

Yes. No relation to actual persons living or dead.

Nothing to see here folks, move along ...

My name in real life is Delta Omicron. Does this mean I can sue the WHO for libel?
