I knew a guy who called himself Xerxes. This was about a year before 300 was out in the movies. I remember hearing his name called out in a nutrition seminar(so-called nutrition...more like "buy into my b.s. plan" scheme). I thought to myself, I know that isn't his name, but that is really "ear-catching". Names were being called out like we were in 1st grade and the speaker was checking for tardiness. Noone even budged for other names. When this guys name was fumbled out by the speaker, everyone popped their head up and looked around for him. I was expecting to see some guy standing in the back of the class with a classy hitman suit on and some black sunglasses (I was disappointed). I'm sure he made a few session sales just be the name.
