names in the news

Sometimes names catch my eye in the news.

In an article on Vancouver Stanley Cup rioters, the name of one of the convicted rioters, Lincoln Kennedy Williams, caught my eye.

The doubly presidentially named Mr. Williams is described as the ringleader in flipping and setting fire to a car.

Makes you wonder what kind of future his parents thought he'd have.

Lately, there has been a kerfuffle in the Canadian news over a photograph of teen figure skater Kaetlyn (sic) Osmund. I don't care about the kerfuffle; I'm just wondering who thought spelling it "Kaetlyn" was a good idea, and why no journalist has pursued this hard-hitting question.

Finally, a librarian at Oxford got the sack for being the one who was on duty during a filming of a "Harlem Shake" video in the library (even though there's no proof she was even aware it was going on). However, as a commenter (can't remember where, may have been on Facebook) pointed out, the librarian's name is Calypso Nash, and anyone named Calypso Nash is destined for great things. I have to concur. It isn't a name I would ever choose, but I am always going to be rooting for anyone named Calypso.

Anyone else notice any interesting names lately?
