To be fair, Gaylord is an actual name that exists, and yet, you probably don't know any.

I have personally known two Gaylords. And there was an olympic gymnast by that name.

But I only hear those other names in stories that have a weird class/race component, and the sheer volume of reports with no corroboration is suspect.

I do.

We even have hotels named after the family.
