I agree. I went to high school, 1950-54, with King McElroy, who was white,
and King Taylor, who was black, both of whom may have been in honor of - or
in imitation of - the inventor, King C. Gillette.

Is "Khloe," merely a better transliteration of the Greek than the Latinate
"Chloe," really worthy of being called "new"?
