I've brought it up before but you often see female politicians reduced to their first name (Rachel, Alison, Kristy, etc.) but almost never men. Justin is one, but that's because his detractors want to portray him as a little boy in a man's world.
Are those a thing? Its always Redford, Notley, etc..

Druh is easy to spell which probably contributes to it and is recognizable. Is anyone referring to DCU as Diane?
