That's friggin' amazing. Never met one. I've met 1,000 Dylans, however.

I once met a guy named Volcano. Nothing to do with Elvis or music, but what a name!

Elvis from Twinkie/Lords!

Does it count if it's a cat named Elvis? (She [yes, she] lived in a long-gone and sadly missed record store.)

I had a Puerto Rican co-worker named Elvis.

This record store (and cat, I assume) predated B&S.

There was a guy who used to play at Fat Matt's in Atlanta who called himself Elvis, but it seemed to be part of a persona rather than his given name. He also showed up on Talk-Back Live.

A lot of Bosnians have moved into town; ergo, I have met several Elvises. Also, it's my cousin's middle name (we're an Elvis-lovin', substance-abusin' family).

Once. Not named so by his parents, but he changed it to Elvis as soon as he was allowed to, apparently. He didn't dress like Elvis, but did the whole 50s greaser thing, which admittedly isn't too uncommon in the town I live in.

why do people still name their children "dylan"? it's such a cliche! the only thing that would make that halfway cool is if those kids were named for dylan on 90210.

jody there was a thing on slate about people naming their kids dylan! the funny thing was it extrapolated from previous trends to predict what will be the cliched names in ten years or so, one of the female ones was "clementine" and i was like 'o man i'm totally naming my second daughter clementine'.

there are 2 who hang out at the Broklyn Brewery on friday nights... I actually witnessed some name confusion a while back & got to say ... "oh, you don't know each other? Puerto Rican Elvis, meet Polish Elvis."
