...Beryl Sprinkel, the economist who just died recently? Where do you suppose his parents got that name? Beryl? I've never heard of it anywhere else. And of all the names to pair it with, Sprinkel? You really have to love the name Beryl to match it with Sprinkel. (Do you think he got teased at school?) I wonder if his mom always loved the name and dreamed of the day she would name her first born son Beryl. "Beryl Smith, Beryl Jones...I just love that name!" And then she met the love of her life and his last name was...Sprinkel? What do you suppose she thought? "Damn the torpedoes! I'm naming my first boy Beryl anyway."
His middle name was Wayne (not one of my favorites, either). Why didn't his parents just name him that?
