The Name, Take Two

I ran into a neighbor at the store today:

Neighbor: What are you naming the baby?

Me: Turk.

Neighbor: No, really, what are you naming the baby?

Okay, I admit Turk is an unusual name, and I don’t know any Americans or Turks with it. However, there are a few fictional characters called Turk (well, almost), so our baby will be in good company.

Terk the Gorilla from Tarzan

Dr. Christopher Turk from Scrubs

Turkish from Snatch
