    Wuntch (played by Kyra): Hello Raymond. Surprised to see me?

    Captain Raymond Holt: I didn’t say “Bloody Mary” three times, so, yes.

    I saw her (when I was a kid) in twelfth night. She was incredible. Paul Rudd and Helen hunt were in the same production and there was water on the stage throughout the play. I kinda wish I could see it again to confirm all of my weird memories of it. lol

    And a Sedgwick. They're an old (from the 1630s) prominent family, and she's first cousins with Edie, as far as pop culture relations go.

    I feel she definitely should have changed her last name to Bacon. I like her a lot, but I can never remember her name even decades later. It is just too weird of a name for easy memorizing imo.
    A special or unique name will not help others remember your special and unique child's name imo fwiw.

    Kyra Sedgwick rolls right off the tongue and I never have a problem remembering her name. Her name like … isn’t unique enough to be an issue, like at all. I dated a girl named Kyra in high school in the 90s and the name has gotten more popular each decade, I feel. Sedgwick is a surname from Middle English. I don’t know why you’re making it like her parents named her Toblerone Rubledoom or something.

    I'm fairly sure she's descended from one of the US founding fathers and she's the cousin of Edie Sedgwick IIRC. Edie was the socialite who was in Warhol's circle in the late 60s.

    Happy to be corrected because I can't get bothered to look it up to confirm.

    You’re right, she is the cousin of Edie and she’s a descendent of William Ellery, a signer of the Declaration of Independence.

    It's just an observation and opinion on what I've noticed in others at work over the decades too. I don't recall "street names" well either and they are usually simple too. I have never known a Kyra or heard the name before her. The surname isn't really rare, but I don't find it memorable either. 🤷‍♂️

    Toblerone I would likely remember, lol.

    To be fair I would absolutely remember Toblerone too, just like I never forget to get giant ones from the duty free shops.

    Syde is Sydney or "Sid".

    Chris/Cris is Christine or Christina etc.

    They are coRrEcT as if gender actually really mattered here or could make this more humorous somehow. They are both "gender neutral" names because of how commonly used for both genders they are.

    Why names became a thing about gender? I don‘t know why, but it‘s pretty much been a thing for a couple of thousand years. Like, ask your grandfather Rosemary, maybe he knows.

    If it makes you feel better, most of the top comments reference Kyra and her B99 character, so we’re really giving her more props.
