Hi all,

I made another thing!

The answer to this meta is an infamous historical figure.

Best,

Done the grid --- working on the meta.
Hoping for results before 4:00!

No luck so far with this meta or your previous one, but I just wanted to say thanks for putting them out there!

Thanks Laura!

I want to give a nudge here because I feel I made this one too subtle. There are no themers in the puzzle. The meta relates to one of the columns in the grid

Answer submitted.

Confirmed. Thanks for the puzzle.

Solution here:

Each row of the grid begins with a letter in Tokyo.

Therefore these are TOKYO ROSE

The answer is confirmed by the title ("What's in a name? That which we call a rose ...") as well as the words propaganda and radio in the grid.

I give myself a fail for this one since it was not really fair for the solver to spot it. Next one will be better I promise!

Oh, no! It's great! Yes, a bit subtle, but the reward of that wordplay more than makes up for it.
In fact after your nudge, I did get the Tokyo part and was about to toss another silly answer your way: "Tokyo Rose's infamous brother, Otto" -- because I couldn't (duh) make the Rose connection.
Excellent signature line, BTW.

Don't be so hard on yourself. It did take a couple of nudges, but once it was clear where to look it came together.

Nice meta. A head slapper for me. I had it early and even had the answer written down. I just could not pull it together. I had a reverse bias because of a similarity to one of the WSJ Saturday monthly puzzles. I dismissed the solution!

I finally got it, with a nudge from another solver. In retrospect I'm kicking myself for not catching on sooner.
