I often wondered about the tight grouping of the first names of the three women I married, L, N & K.

Also, I wondered about my son's initials M.A.L before I named him.

I once met a guy named (I kid you not) Muhammed Muhammed Muhammed. Turns out he was Muslim. Coincidence? I think not!

I recall seeing a study that authors at the top of the alphabet were more likely to be referenced than those at the bottom. Presumably researchers tend to look at the beginning of the bibliography.

M.A.L. ?

You didn’t happen to look that up in any foreign dictionaries, did you? It’s “Evil” in the various romance languages.

Ironically, I had come up with names for my daughter that spelled MAL. It suddenly hit me when I envisioned the monogram, so I changed her middle name to Jan instead of Ann.
