Oh yeah, Keanu is fun to say, too, as is Boutrous Boutrous. What exactly does he do? There was one other person I thought of…can’t remember who it was, though. ---

Some college friends called Wink Martindale’s mom about fifteen years ago and were told his childhood nickname was “stinky”. Does anyone remember basketball player World B. Free? ---

Gina Lollobrigida Sir Michael Hardie Boyes (Reminds you of the Hardy Boys books, doesn’t it!) John Fielgud - If that’s not a warm-fuzzy, I don’t know what is! Herbert Beerbohm Tree - Should appeal to all the drinkers in the Green Party 😉 ---

I.M. Hipp (a RB for Nebraska in, I think, the 70’s) Isabella Rosalini (I know I spelled it wrong) sounds cool. I especially like it when Dave Letterman has her on and talks about how much he likes her name. **mayberrydan** , Major Applewhite just screams Southern white-guy. I know he’s the QB for Texas, but before I even knew who he was, that _name_ . . . ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Dignan \* > **Isabella Rosalini (I know I spelled it wrong) sounds cool. I especially like it when Dave Letterman has her on and talks about how much he likes her name.** Rosselini. Yes, her name is as beautiful as she is. Same with Juliette Binoche. Mr. Rilch calls me a cradle-robber, but I like Haley Osment. Forget the “Joel”; he doesn’t need it for recognition any more. In fact, forget the last name, too. Haley Haley Haley. The L sound is so pleasant to hear and to say. In fact, all the names I’ve listed here have Ls. ---

Gérard Depardieu. I just like saying it aloud. Give it a try with your best attempt at a proper French accent (or even a cheezy fake one) and see what fun it is! ---

I too like Eastern European names. Josef Stalin Nikolai Tesla Mikoyan, Andropov, Molotov… it’s like there’s a party in my voice box, and everyone’s invited! ---

Janeane Garofalo Well, I don’t just like her because of her name, I think she’s funny, intelligent, and very sexy. ---
