[edit] Joe what?
Wouldn't this placeholder name tend to become specialized to authors of blogs? --Damian Yerrick 06:17, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
- No. An interesting coincidence, but it's neither the source (much much older) nor the likely future of the name. Actually, I've always wondered why "Bloggs", it not being all that common a name; John Smith always makes that much more sense. But then again, I guess if you want a markedly neutral name, it's actually a good thing if it doesn't collide with those of lots of real people. Sorry, rambling now... - IMSoP 23:10, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Why a link to nonexitstent "Blogg"?
Why in the "see also" section is there a link to a nonexistent WP article? Jaysbro 19:28, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Removed
- In an episode of the TV series Firefly "Joey Bloggs" is the name of a man Malcolm Reynolds uses as part of a cover story, only to find out Joey Bloggs killed himself several months earlier. The show's Anglophile creator Joss Whedon possibly included it as a joke.
I removed the text above, because Joss Whedon is not an Anglophile, he's English. Billy Blythe 03:07, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Okay, I was wrong. He attended school in England and is an American. I'll revert my previous actions. Billy Blythe 03:10, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Joe Bloe
A variant, "Joe Blow" (sometimes spelled "Joe Bloe"; "Joe Bleau" in French), is sometimes used in Canada. Hugo Dufort 18:59, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] list of Bloggs in literature?
I was looking into the film When the Wind Blows, dimly remembered from my childhood, and I was rather shocked to discover that the main characters were the Bloggs. Should this be mentioned in the article, or does the name used as a proper name appear in literature often? Would a list of characters with the proper name Bloggs be useful, or obscenely large? --Superluser 01:58, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fred Bloggs
In my experience (unfortunately falling foul of WP:NPOV), Fred is the mroe common Christian Name, compared with all others combined. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 150.101.102.188 (talk) 17:10, 4 April 2007 (UTC).
