Apparently I'm named after a famous pirate from where my dad grew up.
Everyone's favourite liver and chianti fan didn't make an appearance until the early nineties when Red Dragon was published...but still...that didn't stop the taunts.
Until I told them the character was based on me :sword: :tongue:
Hanibal Lecter was around well before the 90's man. Go watch Silence of the Lambs.
I've kind of learned to love it, sort of like a trademark really - i've never met anyone else with it, and if i ever have kids, you can be sure my eldest is getting this damn name (even if its a girl!)
