💡 Example 💡 Ivan
Ivan (name): Amy's husband was called Ivan. Ivan the Terrible, Barry always called him, naturally. 'Ivan? What kind of name is that?' he said to Tracy after Amy's engagement was announced. 'Bloody Russian.' 'Actually, I think it's because he had a Norwegian grandfather', Tracy said. 'Norwegian?' Barry said incredulously, as if she'd just announced that Ivan's family came from the moon.
