William Pears

An entirely irrelevant and uncomplicated blog post today:

I dragged myself away from my desk, after an almost full day of watching Vlogbrothers videos, (you can find them here) in search of food. I opened the fridge. Nothing. Open the cupboards. Nothing. Back to the fridge, (I know it has been said before, but it is somewhat peculiar how the human mind is wired to assume something new would have materialised, or else we dramatically lower our standards) and I found pears. An unopened plastic box of pears. (I think they do this so they can hide the bad ones - the bad ones need love too.) Anyway, upon examining said plastic box (because I am that bored) I discover that these are not just pears, but they are 'William Pears'. (Which is probably just the "fancy" name for ordinary pears)

It made me wonder, as I do often, the origin of the name 'William Pears' and whether many other fruits and vegetables are named like humans. Meanwhile, I was also thinking that William Pears would make an excellent name for a character in a short story, mostly because right now I have my writing cap on and everything sounds like a good idea for a story. I wonder, are there any real William Pears out there? Statistically it is a possibility. Are you William Pears?
