Nope, suffolk
US babies named after TV network
A American child named after a TV sports channel will soon get a visit from its namesake.
A film crew is coming to the Texas town of Pampa to interview the family of ESPN Malachi McCall for a feature on children with the name.
At least three children in the US are named after the channel, which marks its 25th anniversary this year.
"We don't have viewers, we have fans - it just shows the bond we have with people," spokesman Dave Nagle said.
I really like Freddie Prinze jr. and heard his father was famous and died tragically. What was his name?
Was his first name Chucky?stormshadow said:Back when I lived in Minnesota, I was at Sta-Mart one night getting some munchies, and I noticed the dude behind the counter had a nametag with "Cheese" written on it. I asked him if it was short for "Chester" or something, and he just huffed and rang up my charges. I guess it was his real name.

And you believe that wasn't the whole plan to start with?Fallen Angel said:Naomi started summer school last week. She wore a shirt that has a screen printed image of one of those self-stick "Hello, my name is..." convention badges. Only hers says "Hello, my name is PRINCESS" (because let's face it, she is). Unfortunately, some of the kids took it seriously and the past few days have been, straight faced and utterly innocently, calling her Princess. As if it really were her name. OMG. I suppose with classmates named Kerrigan (a girl), Dash (a boy), Omri (a boy), Cadence (a girl) and Mellodhi (a girl, I think her mom & Cadence's mom are best friends) a girl named Princess is not too much to take.

Dear Blabby!!!
Dear Blabby,
While I have been in a relationship with the same woman for the last five years, I find I am more and more attracted to her brother. Should I be worried?

Dear Mr Stephen Smith of 18 Banksia Street East Bondi,
It is quite normal for people to feel slightly attracted to members of the same sex from time to time, so you shouldn't worry.
Blabby.

Are messages addressed to: Dear Dear Blabby?
If you called your daughter Dear or Love she would have terrible trouble when she discovered femminism!
"Don't call me Dear, I'm not your Dear."
"But its your name!"
"Oh, so it is."
