I've seen stranger things myself, I once witnessed a mother string up Christmas lights in coordination with the alphabet to communicate with her missing son!

She said his name three times and he came back

When that mother was calling out to her child, it's a good thing that girl wasn't interrupted

You just made that name up, didn’t you? Now if you don’t mind, I’m going to take a sip of my Bell’s double cream stout and continue scrolling on the internet.

She used to have a big brown beaver, too. Apparently she loved showing it off to all her friends.

Why isn't her last name, Minnesota, then?

Which is why she wasn't cast as one of Forrest Gump's fellow soldiers.

Is someone going to inform OP that sometimes people are named after locations they were born?

Mrs. Ryder went "riding" in Winona and ended up with a little Winona of her own, how cute.

I mean, this is kind of the inverse of nominative determinism

SocalPizza t1_ivx0fcw wrote

It's kind of got nothing to do with nominative determinism.

She didn't become Winona-like because she was named Winona.

BrokenEye3 t1_ivx71aa wrote

Precisely. She was named Winona because of a connection to Winona, not the other way around, which is not nominative determinism, but is the inverse of nominative determinism.

You sound like the dumbest wannabe rebel in high school. It’s really not a good look. Hopefully you grow out of it someday
