I left Hope Behind
Hope, Arkansas that is.
I'm driving from Houston to Indiana to see my sister and her family for Thanksgiving. Two things, one I drove past the Remington Ammo plant, I don't think they were working, but given the traffic I can't be sure.
One stretch of I-40 was named for Trooper Clark Kent Simpson. I suspect that's where he was killed when his squad car was hit by a semi. https://www.odmp.org/officer/12267-troo ... nt-simpson
Why would anyone give a son with first name of Clark the middle name of Kent?
Then again, I at one time worked with James Bond, and yes he was in a security related field.

No I am not making this up.
A long time ago my wife lived next door to a family with three children, two boys and a girl. Their names were Peter, Jack and Bunny. Anybody want to guess what the family name was?

My good friend Dick Head has two boys, Tom and Harry. His wife has the worst temper of anybody I know, I haven't bothered asking her opinion of that.

Just about the only worse name would be Richard Peter Johnson.

Back in the 1970s, there was a crazy conspiracy guy (crazy even by conspiracy theorist standards) who distributed a monthly audio tape with all of his baroque theories...
Doctor Peter Beter. (Yes, it rhymed.)

I once had a Minister who went by the name Richard Face. He chose not to use one particular diminutive of the name Richard. Can't imagine why...

My high school choir teacher was named Richard P. Eckstein.
We, of course, assumed that his middle name was Peter, so we called him Dick-Dick.
Turns out that his middle name was actually Paige.
