minus-squareBaŝto@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoWell, the more popular a name the likelier it is that some screwed up person has that name. Stalin was a Joseph (Ioseb). Leopold II of Belgium was a Leopold (Léopold), with second names Lewis (Louis) and Philipp (Philippe). Lenin was a Vladimir (Владимир). Obote was a Milton. Mussolini was a Benedict (Benito). Franco was a Francis (Francisco). Tito was a Joseph (Josip). Micombero was a Michael (Michel).
