I think that Vancouver as well as Canada needs a boot camp for young entrepreneurs. We have already seen tens if not hundreds of people put their names forward to be involved in the program, and we just think this is an amazing way to accelerate what they’re doing.
It’s my first All-Star experience. It’s pretty dope seeing all the super stars and all the big-time names.
We give speeches and pin ribbons onto uniforms, etch names into walls. And all that is fine, but too often, all those tributes, all those words aren’t always backed up by action. And that felt like such a stark contrast to me, because, as we all know, our military is all about action.
Back then, everyone was Lana and Rock. No one had ethnic names.
Without the name, any flower is still more or less a stranger to you. The name betrays its family, its relationship to other flowers, and gives the mind something tangible to grasp. It is very difficult for persons who have had no special training to learn the names of the flowers from the botany.
One of the things my dad and I got to bond over was going to the San Antonio Spurs games when Gervin was there, James Silas… I can’t remember the rest of the guys’ names, but it was a fun time.
Looking back at my matches since 2002, there is one main criterion for me which marks a club which is successful in the long-term: big players, who have grown with their clubs, whose names are tied to the success and who have a 100 per cent identification with the team, the club and its history.
The sad thing is that I know no athletes’ names. I am not a sports girl at all.
I don’t know the names of any pop musicians. Pop music is standardised; it’s made to please the largest audience possible. I also compose to please a large audience, but when you listen to my music, you understand that I have studied and applied the whole history of composition.
I technically have two last names, which is a lot of fun when you’re making airline reservations.
In Old Havana, the names of the streets before the revolution provided a glimpse into the city’s state of mind. You might have known someone who lived on the corner of Soul and Bitterness, Solitude and Hope, or Light and Avocado.
I am not afraid of star names.
I am Italian. Springsteen’s mostly Italian, too. We’re both Italians with Dutch names, one of the many things we have in common.
I know the names of possible signings get fans excited, but it’s a very fleeting kind of excitement.
My father had an amazing legacy, and so does my mother. I wanted to be able to have both names there. In my personal life, it’s Evan Naess. In my career life, it’s Evan Ross.
Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.
Everything about writing is hard for me except for that – the names pop into my head. That’s one of the reasons why I always make sure I have a notebook with me.
Nicknames are baseball, names like Zeke and Pie and Kiki and Home Run and Cracker and Dizzy and Dazzy.
I am terrible with people’s names.
The two principles referred to are Authority and Liberty, and the names of the two schools of Socialistic thought which fully and unreservedly represent one or the other of them are, respectively, State Socialism and Anarchism.
Trick names are so ridiculous!
All I know for certain is that reading is of the most intense importance to me; if I were not able to read, to revisit old favorites and experiment with names new to me, I would be starved – probably too starved to go on writing myself.
In Hollywood, for me, it’s all about the movie stars and the singers. Baseball players don’t draw too much attention; we’re low key. I’m good with faces and sometimes bad with names, but I’ll walk up to somebody if I know who they are… show them some love.
I miss the personalization that Vegas was – there were showroom captains and all the dealers knew the gamblers by their first names.
I was called such names as a kid. Being the smallest boy in the class with a name like Caroll. I remember going home and saying to my mom, ‘What were you thinking?’
I think the idea of fact-checking, I think the idea that you come up through a system where you know how to cover night cops, and then you go on, and you go on to various beats, including writing obituaries, and you get names right, you know how to spell them, really has some advantages to it.
At my age the only problem is with remembering names. When I call everyone darling, it has damn all to do with passionately adoring them, but I know I’m safe calling them that. Although, of course, I adore them too.
When I need names they drop out of my head; when I don’t need them they drop back.
Most of the names in my books have secondary meaning. Sometimes they foreshadow; sometimes they tell you about the character’s origin or back story.
For some reason, all my characters come to me with their names attached to them. I never have to search for the names.
Surfers were the ones who named all my songs. They’d yell out the names, and we just kept ’em.
A cappella group names are hard!
Those who cultivate moral confusion for profit should understand this: we will name their names and shame them as they deserve to be shamed.
There’s actually a name app for baby names. It’s like Tinder for baby names. You swipe left and swipe right, and it makes a little list for you.
The economic picture in the States today doesn’t allow for jazz concerts in a tour fashion. People now are too used to the Festival, which gives them more names for the same price.
There’s not so many ‘big names’ in cruiserweight that would interest me.
The names of common flowers change from decade to decade, so I spent a lot of time with old outdated dictionaries, with awful flower names like ‘mouse-eared chickweed.’
When I was trying to find work after drama school in London, it felt like the same actors always got the plum roles, especially in television. We have a smaller market place, vastly fewer drama-producing networks, and they seem to compete for the same established names for those projects.
I had always thought that the idea of love at first sight was one of those things invented by lady novelists from the South with three names.
One of the rules of Greek lament poetry is that it mustn’t mention the dead by name in case of invoking a ghost. Maybe the ‘Iliad,’ crowded with names, is more than a poem. Maybe it’s a dangerous piece of the brightness of both this world and the next.
Biblical names are hot again.
I will never forget walking out on a Saturday night with Simon Cowell and Sharon Osbourne, household names who were opinionated and full of confidence, and I was just this Irish guy.
If you look at the soap bubbles in the sink when you’re doing dishes, you’ll see the incredible diversity of shapes in there. There are cubes in there; there are decahedrons and tetrahedrons; there are odd, irregular shapes without names, you know.
I make up names for people all the time – it’s part of writing. Very often, the name comes with the character, along with of a sense of who they are and what they do.
Rivers, ponds, lakes and streams – they all have different names, but they all contain water. Just as religions do – they all contain truths.
I like to tell people that ‘Ballers’ has something for everyone. If you are a football fan, then obviously, ‘Ballers’ is the way to go. The series are using real team names so that’s a plus. If you have no interest in football, it’s still a show about life, and there’s something for everybody on that show.
At the time, there were very few foreign names in the press and they were all factory workers. I thought I’d never get a job at a university with a foreign name.
As he is one, so we call Him God, the Deity, the Divine Nature, and other names of the same signification.
I want to be the guy that’s taking names, on the podium, and winning events.
Being called ‘The Heartbreak Kid’, ‘Mr. Wrestlemania,’ and all those other names doesn’t even begin to compare to what it feels like to know that the Almighty God who created the universe calls me His child.
In the 1920s, big names in the Arab world spoke of Scheherazade as an example for intellectuals fighting for their rights. She was a fighter for the right of free expression.
I grew up in a very ‘Friday Night Lights,’ sports-focused town. I did not play the sports. I was never bullied physically, but I was called names. I was also an overweight kid. I knew what it’s like to feel like the other, to feel written off for things that were not in my control – my appearance, my interests.
Don’t let a lack of big company names on your resume get you down, but also, don’t let it feed a Silicon Valley ego. Oftentimes, the best candidates come from startups or smaller companies. It shows they are open to risk and can keep up with the long hours and occasional harsh demands.
There are very few people whose names come to symbolize their achievement, even if it’s a negative achievement.
I believe it’s important that we use names of endearment that reflect a special feeling for the individual involved.
I don’t care if someone calls me names.
No one stopped me from playing when I was alone, but there were times when I wasn’t able to, though I wanted to… There were times when nothing played back. Writers call it ‘writer’s block.’ For kids there are other names for that feeling, though kids don’t usually know them.
