Too many Paul’s
The other day I was telling a guy named Paul, a story that involved two other Paul’s. It was a little confusing keeping track of the names. I seem to know a lot of people with the first name Paul. Here are a few:
- Paul Nethercott
- Paul Robertson
- Paul Little
- Paul Lantinga
- Paul Neary
- Paul McArthur
- Paul Newman
- Paul Wismer
- Paul Little (yes, another one)
- Paul Kyte
- Paul Brennan
I only know one other person with the first name Jay. Okay, back to work.

As far as I can remember, there was never a saint Jay.

That is because Paul is a great biblical name whereas Jay is a letter of the alphabet.

You should have put Nethercott at number 9 or 10 just to see what his reaction would have been.

Jay-Z?
Jay Jay the Jet Plane?

Sorry to point out the obvious, but I find it rather funny that Paul is derived from Paulus (Roman; meaning small or humble) and that you know two Paul Littles. Considering the number of Pauls you know and the chance of someone with the last name Little to be named Paul, the odds for that to happen are fair. Neat.
Small Little…
