So I’m in Florida and watching all the excitement in my first Tropical Storm, Collin. Learning the differences in what the stores run out of during bad weather (in the stores around in me in Texas is was queso, avocado, chips, and bread; here so far it’s clear sodas like Sprite Zero and Diet Seven Up, pizza rolls, jarred alfredo and cheese sauces, and water).
I know I was invited to a Tom Collins party
{Mix the gin, lemon juice and sugar syrup in a tall glass with ice,
top up with soda water, garnish and serve. }
Anyway, the naming of storms got me thinking, what Collins/Colins are actually famous?
In fiction there’s Colin Creevey from the Harry Potter series:
and then Colin Craven from The Secret Garden:
Recognize the adult Colin Craven? It’s a famous Colin, Colin Firth.
Then there’s Colin Cummingham, from Stargate SG-1 and Falling Skies:
Colin Farrell who will be Percival Graves in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them:
Captain Colin Kelly Jr, who died one of the first plane crashes in World War 2 after Pearl Harbor:
Colin Morgan from Humans and Merlin:
and more. Have a favorite Colin? Share in the comments!
