(web or Real) remarking the obvious -and kinda eerie- connection of his name to his aatrocity? 'What's in a word'? (Dictionary gets the origin of another Chauvin)--already as immortal as is this Cop a world-wide pariah --no matter which assorted childhood trauma he well may have experienced; no slack at this level of Evil. Likely someone will describe him as, of Presidential calibre* but he deserves no Ha/Ha ink, even if he shocked a few cohorts(?) into a first introspection. Just curious..

I can't find the actual 1960 story, only references to it, but the idea is there. Here's a reference: https://allnurses.com/theory-nomenclature-t716723/ "... I informed him of the Theory of Nomenclature, by Roger Price, who believed individuals grow to fit their name as society interprets that name. A few examples were Carols, big boned wholesome women who made good wives, Nicks were good at card games but not to be trusted. and Hershels wore horn-rimmed glasses and made good study partners." I think you may be onto something!

A Hoot-itself: see the list of "sounds like ____" (But to assign 'weight/perspective' to his examples, you pretty much had to have earned a bit of cuth, too). He was a wag with Cuth--while snide only to those who saw-Selves within his "bending sickle's compass come"* * The Bard ever forces us to salute Word-possibilities, unless we just want to stay dumb. it's-so-easy. Since this is from Sonnet 116, about Love ..this Is what fuly-Conscious Beings manage to do, I wot. And your linkie also a Hoot ;^> Doubt that I qualify re assigning such name-indicators, though.. as above example: having known a few 'Wills', looking back: these were persons with an active 'will' (not the much more common 'willfulness' disease, so local to dis-U.S.) Any one of us has been Lucky ..ever to have evaded 'schooling' wherein The Bard's opera were Bowdlerized, taught much like Classic Comics (the cheat-sheet for the Drumpfs-of-the-Time, I now wot). Carrion ... we must each find better provenance than ..a Cheese-Mac-a-Day. Eh?
