Interesting how personally knowing someone with a name makes it seem less remarkable. I had two good friends, a brother and sister, whose last name was Wintermute so it seems perfectly normal to me. : I've also known people whose last names were Woolfolk and Lawless, and I've read books by authors named Tarr and Gearhart. Sands also seems normal to me because of singer and actor Tommy Sands, and recently British actor Julian Sands was unfortunately in the news because he disappeared while hiking in southern California's San Gabriel Mountains in January 2023 and was found dead six months later.

I've never known a Proudlock, but I had a good friend whose surname was Proudfoot.
