Y'all have normal names for the most part. My name is too often denigrated.
There's Popeye

WTH man...
There's Tangled

There's Martial Law

There's Shazam

And this kid was Asian, with a reggae hat (although that seemed unintentional). He was a videogamer, which I am not, so it wasn't that close to the mark, but still...really? I would've been rather upset with him had the film not ended up like it did.
There's iBoy

Have you notice my last name is Lynch? Have I mentioned that I had to dissuade the groups of men who worked for me not to call themselves the Lynch Mob?

That is one of the only cool Eugenes in pop culture.
There’s a Eugen in 1899 ( http://brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomForum/s...p?tid=7308). I didn’t even notice him until he died a lemmings’ death.

Lynch mob is kinda cool but in the wrong context, comes off as racist. Otherwise we could swap D00M out for Lynch mob.

I've worked with both a Yevgenya and a Eugenia (the 'g' is an 'h'), both very sweet.

Also weirding me out is that Wednesday’s roommate is named Enid (my mom’s name).

Move on, Buddy. Nerdy Eugene is a given at this point.

When all those poor depictions of Eugene in the media get you down, just remember that Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman is out here in the real world.

He was just given a medal by the government yesterday for his heroics. I'm thinking a few people remember him.

Depp plays Gene as a has been war photographer alcoholic and like usual, he over acts it to the point of caricature, completely ruining an important tale of modern day industrial pollution catastrophes.
This totally counts. It wouldn't if it were based on W. Eugene Smith who is one of the greatest Life photographers ever, but because Depp spoiled him by playing it off like a slightly less goofy Captain Jack Sparrow, it's a total Gene fail.
