Well... I think of Trotsky too, that's why I wrote it, but I don't think SO much of Trotsky that it rules out using the name. And in all fairness, Trotsky is a better association than
Leon Czolgosz!
Funnily, my husband cannot hear a difference between
Lennon and Lenin, it must be the American pronounciation that does it. Regardless I don't think
Lennon should be used as a first name, but I shouldn't highjack this thread to rant about that.
