Cathartic Ink putting my own spin on things

Norbert the snorbert.

I am writing a term paper about the evolution of the skyscraper. There is really nothing funny about that. However, one of the books I am using is written by a man name Norbert Messler. I was writing my bibliography (I like to get those and my footnote notations done first so I'm not burnt out when I get to them) and typed his name in as Norman. Then I looked closer. Who names their kid Norbert? Isn't that one of those names where you would be better off naming your child KickMyAss?? Because you can bet he got teased and/or beat up on the playground with a name like Norbert.
