I had nothing for a long time. Finally started picking them out.

Blue however

I don’t really think it works as well as it could have. I’d say three of the names work as normal names just as much, or more so than nicknames. Tom, and Dan are perfectly ordinary names. Maybe that’s a UK thing though and they aren’t full names in the US as much.

blue

Are there really lots of Toms and Dans? Any famous ones? I just checked a wiki page of British actors as an example and there were a couple of Toms, but no one's full name was listed Dan (although there were a few Dannys).

How the hell did y'all get purple first? Very impressed as I only got it by elimination.

A bit difficult today. Went for the herring, blue seemed a bit silly, and for green

spoiler

was water closet used in the US? I thought it was a European thing, and they still use the term in some places (so not "old timey"). I didn't think it was said in the US at all

Blue was way dumber then I thought it would be.
