Dr. Elvis Francois, an orthopedic surgeon resident at the Mayo Clinic, telling reporter Ann Halliwell of the Post Bulletin the reason he was named Elvis as published on the paper's 30 December 2018 edition in an article entitled. "Why a Mayo surgery resident is always singing on the job"

My mom was a huge Elvis fan, she's always, ever since I can remember, always had small Elvis dolls and random Elvis memorabilia around the house. Growing up, I finally asked her why she decided to name me Elvis, and originally, she was going to name me Gregory. But she had a dream two weeks before I was born that she was at an Elvis concert and her newborn baby was at the concert as well. So instead of Gregory, she decided to call me Elvis. Yeah, she was about as big of an Elvis fan as possible.
