Congress is hiding the details of their party president Rahul Gandhi’s citizenship. Rahul Gandhi’s real name is Rahul Vincy. They are cheating people by hiding the real names of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
We didn’t know music had all these names. We made up SupaFunkRock on a plane when a flight attendant asked us what we play.
I was very awkward as a kid. I was a square trying to fit into a circle and it never worked for me. The harder I tried, the harder I fell. For some reason I was a real target and I got beat up and called names.
The Memorial Finder covers the gap. It tells you the specific panel and number where you can find an individual but begins to reveal the connections between the names themselves. As you move around the site itself, a smartphone app will reveal adjacencies as well as the stories behind the names.
Williams is one of the big names in F1 with a really strong pedigree, so it is an honour to be driving for them.
AMC has a track record for finding actors who have been working actors but not names yet and casting them.
I got into a lot of fights, but it wasn’t because of my name. Being from the neighborhood with a name like Chauncey, people think I got picked on. But a lot of strange names come out of the neighborhood.
The names of Dingane and Bambata, Hintsa and Makana, Squngthi and Dalasile, Moshoeshoe and Sekhukhuni, were praised as the glory of the entire African nation. I hoped then that life might offer me the opportunity to serve my people and make my own humble contribution to their freedom struggle.

The role and the script are not the only factor to chose or do a film, but the names associated with the project also matters.
I think of Ray Harryhausen’s work – I knew his name before I knew any actor or director’s names. His films had an impact on me very early on, probably even more than Disney. I think that’s what made me interested in animation: His work.
My kids watch everything downloaded; they have no idea what the numbers or the names of the channels mean, except, ‘FX makes the show that I see on my computer.’ So it’s harder to get a show on the air, but at the same time, there are a lot of terrific shows.
Home of lost causes, and forsaken beliefs, and unpopular names, and impossible loyalties!
I don’t like crazy names. I don’t like them. I don’t think it makes any sense. You have to think about the child and, as they get older, what they have to deal with. A lot of people do things as a fad, and they want to get some attention, but it’s like, this is your child.
Bullying, to me, starts very small around the kindergarten age where the first thing we learn is to call each other names. Something so small can be so long lasting in someone’s life.
I don’t want to name names, but the least I can say about rock and roll is that I’m suspicious.
Now I want to use money in a good way.

If ‘Party of Five’ hadn’t done well, it would have been a bunch of names involved in the demise. But if ‘Time of Your Life’ doesn’t do well, it will be my name. You have to prepare for the worst. This is a very fickle business.
It was an honor to have our album and names mentioned on the Billboard charts.
Maybe at some point, I will come out with my #MeToo story. Very well known and important people have tried to take advantage of me or have misbehaved. They are still around. When I want to name them, I will name them. It will not be one name, there will be quite a few names.
The thing about music is that it gives voice and names to anguish and also addresses how to comfort it.
I had a tryout in Australia when I was 17 years old. The WWE contacted my trainers and asked who would be a few names that they would put forward for a tryout. My name was thrown in there, which I had only been wrestling for a year, and so I sent them back all my information after they emailed me and I was super excited.
I was enamored with Charles Dickens as a kid, and his names blew me away.
I loved the glamour and excitement of the games and, in particular, knowing the names of each and every one of the referees – that’s because my mom, a former basketball player, would yell at them from our front-row seats for making bad calls!
From 13/14 I was always hanging about with older boys. Boys in school used to call me names. But outside older boys would pay me attention because I looked older for my age. I was going to clubs from 14. I wanted to be loved.
At least Russia and China didn’t call us names when we smiled sweetly at America.
If I had used real names, I don’t think ‘Madras Cafe’ would have ever seen the light of day because it was a political film, an adaptation of a true incident.
