I named my first born son Dresden because of these books. No lie. I still get a lot of "oh so are you German?" questions though. Philistines

You could have just named him "Harry" instead. Or even "Harry Blackstone Copperfield" if you wanted to be more on the nose about it.

While Harry would have been apt based on my own hair levels, I just preferred the sound of Dresden. I have a fairly common name and it was not so much fun being "First name last initial" growing up so I also wanted to give him a decent semi unique name that wouldn't also fall in the realms of Tradegeigh or Traeiystiean shit

Also my wife started whispering it in her sleep the night I suggested it so that pretty much tied it.
