Yep, yep and yep to all the
stories guys have written. My mom says they got it out of a book of
"current" popular names for baby boys. Sheesh, didn't last long after
the mid 50's.
My favorite Kim story is this: Because my last
name is impossible to spell over the phone ("BVD?") I usually simplify
it when ordering pizza, etc. HOWEVER, when ordering Chinese take-out I
always say "Kim" and the person on the other end is "oh yes!"
In
an Old Testament Survey class a professor was making the point that
when researching ancient manuscripts, you could date someone by their
name. For instance if someone in Rome had a certain name, you knew it
must have been after a particular campaign in which the Roman soldiers
brought back that name. "Just like" he added "U.S. soldiers brought
home the name Kim from Korea in the 19050's". If true, it explains a
lot.
