- lostlogin 6y agoAren’t those all fictional except for Schwarzenegger who is real and Austrian?
- dec0dedab0de 6y agoThat's what I was trying for, but I didn't check if any of the fictional ones were based on real people. It was a light hearted way to illustrate that there are so many names that it's common to hear some that sound weird to you.
- porknubbins 6y agoThe real singer from whom they borrowed the “Mavis” is named Mavis Staples. Which, to my ear, if I didn’t know she was a real person sounds just uncanny enough to have been made up by a company as marketing.
