I really ought to do a FAQ one of these days

One of the questions in it would be “Are you related to Robert Leckie?”

And the answer is, yes, I am. Just how exactly, I have no idea, though if I put some serious effort into it I could very likely find out.

“Leckie” is one of those names–anyone with that name is related to me in some way. So this answer goes for any other [X] Leckie you might be curious about–yes, I am related to them, though I may or may not know precisely how, or even know (until you mention them to me) that they exist.

Ha! Whereas I am not related to anyone with my surname other than my father, his brother, and children thereof, because my grandfather was given the name (a very common one) specifically to differentiate him from his single mom in the twenties mother. So there are umpteen million B--s (quite possibly literally) and we're related to none of them.

Names is weird.
