OK. I think on this one, I am reminded of the refrain, "East is East, and
West is West, and never the twain shall meet". :-) Which seems ironically
applicable here. I will conclude by just saying that I don't feel you honor
the source by using their name, but instead, are just honoring yourself,
unless, of course, it really is your name. But that's just the way I see it.


I think I'll agree to disagree too, and thus cease argument (which has
been conducted with politeness, which makes a nice change), though I
incline more to Rudy's view more than yours. But I just thought, as a
parting shot, I'd try https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl, a
resource I use a lot for UK genealogy, and I can tell you that, between
1837 (actually first 1853, but the records go from 1837) and 1964
(FreeBMD's records actually go up to 199x), there were at least 65
Ernest Hemingway births registered in the UK; I imagine several are till
alive. (No Mark Twains though.)

Have the courage to be ordinary - people make themselves so desperately unhappy
