I noticed that they had to make a cultural reference for every name. For example, "
Ray is a jazz favorite."
I actually kind of like
Sparrow James, too. It's better than Bronx Mowgli.
I was reading about the symbolism of sparrow tattoos a while ago... They were important to sailors because sparrows could always find their way home, I guess. Here's an article on that.
