I’ve met a few Ferris’s (two of them were girls) and none of them had seen Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, which honestly blew my mind!! It always makes me think about name associations and whether they’re actually a good thing or not. Like I love the name Dolly and I love Dolly Parton, but would people immediately think “Dolly Parton?” every time they hear it?
Ooh, that's so cool you've met several Ferris's - and I kind of like it for a girl! And that is surprising!!
That's an interesting point about associations - the way they're not universal and how their relevance changes with time, experience, age and so on!
Funnily enough, I've encountered a couple of (younger) Dollys, and when I mentioned it to a family member their response was "must have been Dolly Parton fan" 😄 same goes from when I've mentioned Joni (Mitchell), Lennon and Jude (Beatles)!
