James S.A. Corey

Writers Daniel Abraham and Ty Frank collaborated to write science fiction The Expanse under the pen name James S.A. Corey. They chose the name by using their middle names as well as Abraham’s daughter’s initials, S.A. They wanted to convey the name of a 1970s era of space opera writers.

Jack Dawson

While the Titanic was a real ship, the 1997 James Cameron film was loosely based on reality and took some liberties. Main character Jack Dawson was not a real person. Amazingly, at the Fairview Cemetery where 121 Titanic victims are buried, one grave is labeled J. Dawson. His first name was Joseph and he had worked as a trimmer in the engine room of the ship. The film had already finished filming before the crew realized this amazing coincidence.
