I enjoy seeing a glimpse of the hybridizer's personality in looking through the names they've chosen. The thread on Paul Black intros had me looking at his creations in the data base, and it appears Paul is a Cher fan with 3 I've found so far bearing her name, Cher and Cher Alike, My Cher, and My Cher of Happiness.

I had also gathered Tom Johnson is a Madonna fan, after seeing Material Girl, Ray of Light, and Strike a Pose.
