Lost!

Our Hero's glorious namer is LOST!

No, really. The Hawkmadinebwog has been getting a lot of press inquiries lately about the origins of Our Hero's glorious name. Though we know the post from which his name originated and the context, we don't know who named him! If you're interested in owning up to your genius, or even if you didn't name him but would like to talk to a reporter about your personal reason for being obsessed with Hawkmadinejad, send an email to hawkmadinejad@gmail.com

I know the person who, cleverly, first abbreviated Hawkmadinejad's name to H-Jad. Later that week a group of freshmen began to misquote the abbreviation as H-Dad and Bwoggers have since unknowingly adopted this incorrect version. Bwog, I ask you to begin to phase back to H-Jad for the good of the Hawk-loving community. If we return to using the proper abbreviation, our hero will stick around in relative peace with the student body... keep calling him by his wrong name and He might get fed up and take off, or worse, turn on us.

Duly noted! It's mostly my fault that our hero started being called H-dad instead of H-jad. Obviously the latter makes more sense.

Fo real though?

You still got the D before the "ad". The D is a stronger sound also, DIN is the emphasized syllable in Ahmadinejad.
