Jim Wright

So I'm reading the latest Loveless which is a comic straight from the old Clint Eastwood, spaghetti western school updated to today's sensibilities and there's a scene where one of the characters tells another character his name is James Wright. I do a double take and grin. (No, my real last name isn't Yamato). This is the second time this has happened and in a book I really like. In one of the first Hawkman issues when Gray and Palmiotti took over, they weave a tale of one of Carter's previous incarnations. Turns out he was a private detective named James Wright. Once is pretty neat. Twice makes me wonder if there's a guy over there at DC with the same name as me.
What's really funny is that I'm not the only one in my family that has a DC counterpart. Jesse Quick's personal assisstant shares the same name as my wife. I know you're thinking well that's not odd. Well my wife's name is Tally and she was named after her uncle so that's not a nickname. How wild is that?
