OK, this isn’t a serious topic. We have a lot of serious topics here at Discourse already. Probably the best and most serious topics in the world. This is something different. I have a challenge to you all: Come with the best names of test patients you can think of. Come on! :smiley: 

I’ll start:

* Brad BAKER
* Justin TIMEWELL
