Baby Name Wizard is all over this one.
And this all makes me wonder: is there a psychology researcher somewhere with a dog named Stroopy? Probably so.
P.S. I just made the mistake of googling “Stroopy.” Don’t do it. I was referring to this.

Not stroopwaffles?
In Dutch, “stroop” means syrup in English. My wife’s name is Deb and our daughter’s name is Becky; because the former ends with a “b” and the latter begins with a “b” this produces no end of tongue-tying confusion. I wonder if this is an example of a wider phenomenon whereby the mind is ahead of (behind?) the tongue.
Hang on stroopy. stroopy hang on.
Is that similar to the phenomenon where people perceive everyone they know as being being white and uniform (the “stormstroopier effect”)
