Actually I never heard this before.
Name of pawns. Harry needs to go....

check out the 'GingerGM' Simon Williams youtube videos. He names all his pawns and talks to them as he pushes them up the board. Harry is probably his favourite. 😂

Arry, Barry, Cedric, Derrick, Eddie, Freddie, Gary, Harry.
Yes, those are the names! I thought I heard Simon once calling the f-pawn as "Frodo", but I may be mistaken.
Can't really have 'Arry and Harry.
I suspect the "a" pawn is really Albert.
Also there is a lack of ladies. So the "d" pawn is now Doreen and the "e" pawn Edna.
Albert, Barry, Cedric, Doreen, Edna, Freddie, Gary and Harry.
Harry remains the universal favourite.

As long as we're being egalitarian here, the queenside pawns should all be female. Abbie, Betty, Carrie, and Debbie on the queenside. Eddie, Freddie, Gary, and Harry on the kingside.
But wait, do the black and white pawns need to have identical names? Are they mirror image clones with different coats of paint?

...or elements if the periodic table:
Argon,Boron,Carbon,Dysprosium,Erbium,Fluoride (boo),Gallium and Hydrogen.
One said "Yes I agree, Harry has to go...."
Does all pawns have names? And if so what names?
