Even more Dan Nesses

You think they’re not so everyday, but they keep popping up all over. There’s a Dan Ness that’s an artist in Portland, who’s also been in Berlin, Finland, Massachusetts, and Japan. There’s at least one Dan Ness who’s a realtor in Minnesota.

There are even companies with the Ness name. One that rents cranes doesn’t seem to have anyone working there with the name. Seems odd to have Ness Crane without a Ness.

It’s a great group, and maybe we ought to form a club!

Or how about a disambiguation page?

The Nessness of Ness

Some suffixes are an afterthought, while others define or refine the essence of the word before.

Ness is like that.

As the Vikings explored, they mapped the territory. A Ness is a promontory, a vantage point for seeing further.
