This actually doesn’t have to do with the article. I did a search for the movie Donnie Darko and found this site and I’m reading the reviews and it said the response was posted by Leopoldo, so I thought that I had accidentally clicked enter because that’s my name. I had never met anyone else outside of my family with that name before (to my understanding it’s a rare last name). I was wondering what area Leopoldo is from, I was just curious, maybe there is a relation. Almost made me wonder if I traveled back in time (as in Donnie Darko). My email is jonleo2383@yahoo.com.

Hey there Jon. I am Leopoldo, the owner of geekroar.com and pwasoh.com. You are right that is is an unusual last name, but in Galicia (north western Spain) it is not that unusual for a first name. I was named Leopoldo after my great-great-great-grandfather who came from Galicia.
