NPR has a reporter named Libby Lewis and she is assigned to the Whitehouse so she filed reports on the resignation of Lewis Libby. Of course they had letters from listeners asking if there was a conflict of interest etc. Another announcer announced the resignation of Libby Lewis from the Whitehouse.

A while ago, they had three people who worked for NPR or Public Radio stations all of whom had names in which, the first name was the first part of the second name. They were Sara Sarasohn, Laura Lorson and Rob Robinson. They all appeared on "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me", a very amusing quiz show.

We have a Portland right-wing radio type called Lars Larsson. He's up his own arse anyway so no surprise his first name is going after his last name.

He's probably from Iceland....related to Magnus Magnusson no doubt.

I always thought that David Bowie was being particularly cruel naming his son Zowie. And if I remember correctly Marc Bolan called his kid Rolan. And my wife informs me that Courtney Cox and David Arquette named their kid Coco Cox, which frankly sounds like a fungal disease you get on your foreskin.
