I'm looking through the latest last names list and noticed a lot of references to both world wars:
Armistice Doolittle Doughboy Enfield Habsburg Kaiser Memorial Normandy Overlord Patton Resistance Somme Tank Tiger + possibly a few I missed/have been retired I wonder what inspired that? Armistice day (Nov. 11) and the anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack (Dec. 7)? Or were they in there for a while? I also caught a couple Italian car designer references: Bertone (retired from the list) and Guigiaro. Coolness  Any other themes (besides the usual poets, authors, etc.) that are over my head? _____________________

There was a Doctor Who theme a few weeks back: Tardis, Pertwee, Eccleston, Baker, Troughton, etc.

Haha, I love it when people point the themes out, sometimes, they go right over my head. About 6 months ago it was the founders of the De Stijl art movement (people like Theo van Doesburg and JJP Oud)
