There’s nothing more frustrating than when fans use a nickname. That’s like people you don’t know using names from people that you’re intimate with. Like if my mom has a nickname and a fan finds it out and starts using it, that’s creepy.
Call things by their right names – Glass of brandy and water! That is the current, but not the appropriate name; ask for a glass of liquid fire and distilled damnation.
You gotta love the names. They’re so eager, earnest, and hopeful: Camp Prosperity, Camp Liberty, and Camp Victory are the names of just a few of the U.S. military bases in Baghdad.
First you forget names, then you forget faces. Next you forget to pull your zipper up and finally, you forget to pull it down.

Our names are labels, plainly printed on the bottled essence of our past behavior.
I do have a few personalities. When people started making a big deal out of it, I started making names for these people.

The latest horror to hit the U.S. looks to have been caused by people of Middle Eastern origin, bearing Muslim names. Again, shame. This fuels more hatred for a religion and a people who have nothing to do with these events.
I’ll just say this one: on each my shinguards, I’ll kiss them before I put them on, and I’ll put the names of the people I’ve loved and lost to remind myself that life is short and to take advantage of the opportunity.
I call everyone ‘Darling’ because I can’t remember their names.
My seven-year-old daughter knows old songs and how the neighborhoods got their names. There are little things: Businesses receive blessings from Hawaiian priests before opening, and everyone’s kids have their debut luau. You can’t really get through a day without doing something Hawaiian.
I believe that when the public lacks even the most fundamental access to what its governments and militaries are doing in their names, then they cease to be involved in the act of citizenship.
I want the big fights, I want the big names, fights that will motivate me.

To be one of the names being talked about is better than not. But it’s only talking.
Pacquiao earned the right to go out how he wants to go out. He had fought everybody there is to fight – when they was there to fight. He fought all the top names. Eight-division champion. He accomplished everything there is to do in the sport of boxing.
Voting the names of the dead, and the nonexistent, and the too-mentally-impaired to function, cancels out the votes of citizens who are exercising their rights – that’s suppression by any light.
My son don’t have to say it loud, I’m black and I’m proud. He don’t have to be called those crazy names.

I normally don’t love green juices, but Body & Eden makes theirs tasty by blending ingredients like avocado and banana with the usual suspects like kale and spinach.

I have a lot of big names on my side that I’m willing to fight, and I’m pretty sure they are willing to fight me, too.

All I’m saying is that Louis Vuitton and L’Oreal didn’t invent branding at some point in the mid-Eighties. Big, reassuring names have been around a long time.
My third day playing saxophone, I was in front of a congregation. I still didn’t know the names of all the notes. I was playing by ear, following along, but it was such an encouraging environment, I couldn’t fail. It was all, ‘Yeah baby, you sound real good’ no matter what you play. It was a great way to learn.
If atomic bombs are to be added as new weapons to the arsenals of a warring world, or to the arsenals of nations preparing for war, then the time will come when mankind will curse the names of Los Alamos and of Hiroshima.
The names are bigger, the show is worldwide, but I get a royal pass into life in the broadcasting business.
You’ve got to invest in the world, you’ve got to read, you’ve got to go to art galleries, you’ve got to find out the names of plants. You’ve got to start to love the world and know about the whole genius of the human race. We’re amazing people.
Paris. Toulouse. Malmo. Copenhagen. Brussels. Berlin. For most people, they are lovely cities where you might happily take a holiday. But for the world’s Jews, they are something else, too. They are place names of hate.
Before any American points a finger at President Putin and calls him nasty names, they should recognize that a lot of Americans agree with Putin on his stance against homosexual and transgender people.

Since my high school years, I have been interested in history, especially in Roman history, a topic on which I have read rather extensively. The Latin that goes with this kind of interest proved useful when I had to generate a few terms and names for cell biology.
I actually quite miss being called Philippines because in the pageant it’s normal for us to be called our country instead of our names. If somebody goes, ‘Philippines!’ I turn my head and I know that’s me. Now they go ‘Pia’ or ‘Miss Universe.’ Of course that’s better. But I also miss that, being called my country.
That’s one thing I like to do before going in for a read – doing research once I actually have been granted the role – is to look up people’s names.
I like being a storyteller. I’m bored with myself; I like to write about others. I have a lot of names in my songs: Karen, Margaret, Mary Kay. Even if it’s about me, I want to put it through someone else. The music is the soundtrack to the story.
My real, full name is Chelsea Chanel Dudley. In my opinion, Chelsea Dudley does not sound like a rapper. So I was like, ‘You know what? Imma drop both of those names and just go by Chanel.’
Our creator is the same and never changes despite the names given Him by people here and in all parts of the world. Even if we gave Him no name at all, He would still be there, within us, waiting to give us good on this earth.
I’ll be so excited to take my daughter to her first fashion show, but I think, for her, it’s best to wait until she’s old enough to appreciate it. Or, at least, until she can pronounce the designer’s names!
A lot of people ask me, like, how the characters are different between Nitro and Morrison and Mundo, and the biggest difference is just the names. Like, wrestlers are usually a version of yourself, and the versions of myself haven’t really changed that much.
Contra.’ ‘Duck Hunt.’ ‘Double Dragon.’ If these phrases elicit any sort of emotional response inside of you, we have something in common. I get the warm and fuzzies just saying those names out loud. Some of my best memories growing up were playing these games with my dad.
