I’ve always been baffled by CCH Pounder’s unusual name. Is it a standard of weight or currency… a menu item? But I just found out that it is simply an abbreviation for Carol Christine Hilaria Pounder.

Why not just Carol Pounder?

Because it sounds like someone playing Christmas songs way too loud on the piano?

I saw a book by someone named Jane Ockershausen Smith. Not famous, but it makes you wonder.
