      Thanks for linking that! Super interesting, I never had a name for that, but wondered about that exact thing.

    Personally, I’ve always subconsciously associated the last name in a list of names as the one who does the real work. Like if Lewis was so great, why did he need to bring Clark on board? Again, subconsciously, I associate the first name with vanity, the face of the group taking credit for a joint effort. I know that it’s usually just a case of what has a better rhythm, but I feel the way I feel.

    This doesn’t extend to longer lists, anyone in the middle feels like a handout, “Oh yeah, they were also involved I guess”. Again, totally based on feels, and I’m probably weird for this.
