Random Fact of the Day: Every Tom, Dick, and Harry

Many cultures have generic placeholder names. In American English, we have "Tom, Dick, and Harry" (that is, 'any/all men'), and "John Doe" or "Richard Roe"  (an anonymous/unknown person, although the latter is rather archaic now); while in the UK & Australia there's also "Joe Bloggs" and "John Smith".
For some languages, the 'names' aren't actual names you'll find on people; rather, they literally just mean "anonymous" or "whoever"; but others are (or were) in general usage [indicated by bold].

Usual Nickname, Unexpected Name--Cal
