Astorian, you get your DQ back as #12 was in response to KO.

Probably DQx3, unless Dan Marino was a ‘fellow running back’, and I’m not even sure he made it to three.

So, broad metagame question-

It actually worked out quite well this time that the Japanese question came up before the first name question, so I could elaborate on first names versus given name without spoilers… but how should it be handled if they came in the opposite order? Assume English language name order and say first name does not begin with M?
