- @Surjection: How is a proper noun a synonym of a common noun? If the meaning is the same (which it should be) as the synonym then it means “An astonished or stunned person.” That is not a proper noun. J3133 (talk) 16:37, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
- It's as if the name of a person that is figuratively used in that meaning. If you feel that makes it a common noun instead, feel free to change it. — surjection ⟨??⟩ 16:42, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Surjection: What is the etymology? Is it from the name of a real person? If not, why is it this name specifically? J3133 (talk) 05:25, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
