He said what? - Snow Keim of The Blakes, talking about his first name:

"My mom was really into having her kids be different elements of the earth. I've got a brother named Blue, which is a color. And I've got another brother named Fox, and that's an animal. And a brother named Garnet, which is a stone or mineral or rock, and then you've got me and I'm an element."
