they have uncommon first names so people use them. I get that Boris is a character, but the character is so synonymous with being a fucking clown that the name is as much a term of derision as it is endearment. If you like Boris you call him Boris because you like him. If you think he's a cunt you call him Boris because you think he's a cunt.
I don't think Rishi is curated any more than Sadiq. They're just the only people with that name in mainstream UK politics.
Don't you mean "The Mayor, Sadiq Khan"? That one always jars with me as he seems to be using the GLA as a vehicle to promote himself. I suppose he learnt how from the previous incumbent of the office.
