NO MAN IS AN ISLAND

I asked Noman why he was named Noman. I asked if his parents were fans of John Donne. He said, "Who?"

He said he is named after his great grandfather. Apparently his great grandfather's parents intended to name his great grandfather "Norman," but made a mistake on the birth certificate. Left out the "r."

Noman said his parents finally fixed the naming mistake by making it intentional. They wanted to name him after his great grandfather so he still had to be named "Noman," but they gave him the middle initial of "R" which doesn't stand for anything. It is just the missing "R."
