What is it with famous people (or people wishing they could be famous) and having three names? I mean, I was given a middle name at birth, but I don't go around introducing myself as Rosalind Beth or Lindy Beth McCord. That is just strange. Yet... there are so many of them: Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Neil Patrick Harris, Lou Diamond Phillips, Richard Dean Anderson, Jodi Lyn O'Keefe... I could go on and on...
(the funny thing I'm realizing as I typd out this list is that I cannot stand ANY of the aforementioned three-named celebrities... coincidence?)
In any case, why is it that they feel it's necessary to use that middle name? Does it make them more special? She can't be Sarah Gellar, she has to be Sarah MICHELLE Gellar. And of COURSE, Jennifer LOVE Hewitt... wouldn't be the same without the Love, right? Ugh. I guess, to each his or her own, but still, it is kind of irritating to me.
But one thing I've noticed, is that, a lot of people who gain notoriety from committing a heinous crime or at least being convicted of one, use three names. Example, John Mark Carr, the guy who admitted (and was later acquitted of) killing Jon-Benet Ramsey (oh wait, look, another 3 named person!!!). Another example, Lee Boyd Malvo, convicted DC sniper... three names.
It's just a strange phenomenon to me. Maybe I'm just being overly critical. People can have as many names as they want. After all, in my youth, when I had an obsession with Kiefer Sutherland, I found out that his full name was: Kiefer William Frederick Dempsey George Rufus Sutherland.
That is a lot more than 3.
...this is Lindy Beth McCord, signing off.
