I'd never heard of her. Another sad example of how people become famous these days.


The end was funny though. Black Tower or Blue Nun.

Well she is the face and voice of the upper class, how proud they must be to have such a eloquent lady speak on their behalf.

Maybe and however deplorable, people do express and respond to social class through names.

I wonder what she'd think of your moniker. "Can Oink come over and play ?"

India, Poppy and Maximillion...i'd judge the parents for naming the poor kids that, not the kids themselves...and it looks like i'd be right after seeing their mother on TV

love Holly clamping her at the end...how sheepish does she look!

Quite right too, all those oiky Dwaynes, Chantelles, Aarons and Jades. It helps one know who to avoid.

Aaron...not much issue with that. The others are poor I'd agree. Luckily my parents saw fit to give me a fine first name stolen from a Macedonian King.

Americans as usual take the cake with their names. Some real "wut?" names there. Usually some sort of dodgy prefix like "La" or "De" gives them away.

She seems like the sort who would thoroughly approve of a person with a name like Sarah Palin.

Class considerations aside, I do find this recent fashion of naming offspring after cities (Brooklyn, London, etc) a bit naff. Pity the poor youngster who end up being called something like Regina.
