  • "It was popular, when I was born, to name a child after a movie star." This is what my Mother told me anyway.
    I'm named after two big stars, as is my brother. I guess by the time my sister came along the fad had died.  :)

    My Tibetan friend says that it is customary to ask the Dali Lama to name your child. Her son and her daughter have the same first name. Apparently His Holiness is fond of that name and assigns it to most children.
