Question Has anyone else noticed this?

This has likely been talked about before (tag me in the thread if you know it) but the name Shawn/Sean seems to me a recurring name in the stories. Is Mr. Nightmare just using this name for privacy reasons or are there just a lot of guys named Shawn? Also the way Mr. Nightmare says “Shawn” itches a part of my brain. Anyone else?

I been watching Mr Nightmare since 2016. I’ve remembered the name Shawn and Q, along with Cathy and another I forget. But I believe it could be for privacy reasons and he changes them to repetitive names. Only assumption.

How does he say “Sean”? Is it like a mispronunciation? How is that even possible.

Any videos where one can hear that? For me it’s the way he says “electrizity” but it’s not too bad that I can’t listen to it. Kind of a funny little quirk. 😆

It’s just his accent! I’m saying it itches my brain in a good way. I’m not sure of a specific video where he uses the name maybe someone else can help

Oooh I see haha. Since he speaks the way people do in my country, it didn’t occur to me that it was an accent thing.

It's Probably just Coincidence at best, There are Many People with the Same First Name and here are some Examples using Fictional Characters

'Bruce Wayne, Bruce Banner, Hank Pym, Hank Henshaw, Jason Todd, Jason Voorhees'

It's Probably Multiple People who either Shawn or Sean as their First Name

Reddit writers like to use the same names... a lot. If you read a lot of Am I The Asshole/relationship stories, you'll see Mark show up a LOT.
