family feud and football

[laminy.livejournal.com]

I was watching Family Feud today and there was a male contestant named Maitresse. He pronounced may-treese, and it basically seemed to me like a combination of maître d' and mattress. In other words, pretty bad.

And watching the ESPYs the other day reminded me of Plaxico Burress. Apparently, he was named after his uncle. He has two brothers, Ricardo and Carlos, and a son named Elijah. Contrary to what Eli Manning thought, he was not named after him. Eli's real name? Elisha Nelson. His older brothers are Peyton Williams and Cooper Archibald, after their father.

So, lots of names, what does everybody think? I think that Eli is cute, but not when it's short for Elisha. I know not everybody likes Peyton, but I kind of do, though I consider it a girl's name, so Peyton and Elisha sound like a couple of a sisters to me. Elijah is nice too.
