Just picked up an unknown call with a "Hello?" An old woman said "Joan?" So, I can cross "mistaken for a Joan" off the bucket list.

I can't have been the only one who was confused by the Rosa Parks story as a kid, on a basis of "the cool kids sit in the back of the bus."

At 17, Joan of Arc led the French to victory and I just looked for my phone while talking on it.

Help! My dad wants to name my daughter We just got confirmation that we'll be having a girl. As soon as my dad heard this, he insisted on naming her Joan. I asked him why, and he said that he thought the world needed more people with interesting, history-based names. He used my name, Marc, as an example. He said that my name is based on Marcus Aurelius, a Roman emperor. I then asked him what person that ""Joan"" was based on. He replied, ""well after Joan of Marc, of course.""
