Typos as a souirce of character names. Jeff Zeitlin 16 May 2025 12:09 UTC

On one forum that I'm fairly regular on, there's one user who participates
using his phone, and between his larger-than-normal fingers and the phone's
built-in autocorrupt, his postings have quite a bit of ... shall we say,
"creativity"?

At any rate, in his activity recently, he mentioned an "email inbox", but,
naturally, it didn't come out quite that way, and as a result, I need to
roll up a character to go with the name:

     Emali Ibnox

Has anyone else ever encountered a random typo that immediately became a
name for a character?
