~By J. William Fulbright ~

~By Jay London ~
I'll name names, you know I won't hold back.
~By Steven Cojocaru ~

~By Barbra Streisand ~

~By Matthew Arnold ~

~By Algernon H. Blackwood ~
These names: gay, queer, homosexual are limiting. I would love to finish with them. We're going to have to decide which terms to use and where we use them. For me to use the word "queer" is a liberation; it was a word that frightened me, but no longer.
~By Derek Jarman ~

~By Margaret Atwood ~
We had the boy's name picked out, but we didn't have a girl's. When he turned out to be a boy, we were so relieved. Literally, in the middle of contracting and pushing, and with my wife being drugged - out and half - lucid, we were still coming up with names.
~By Paul Reiser ~

~By Edmund Husserl ~
I printed a list of Irish names from the Internet and my husband, Dave, saw Finley on the list. I really liked it but didn't want to scare Dave off with my enthusiasm. So I used a little reverse psychology and let him think it was his idea.
~By Holly Marie Combs ~

~By Ann Sothern ~

~By Neil Sheehan ~

Gwyneth Paltrow names her kid Apple. I'm not going to let that stand.
~By Kathy Griffin ~

~By Wayne Newton ~

~By Heinrich Himmler ~
I'm not called Jude Law, I have three names; I'm called 'Hunk Jude Law' or 'Heartthrob Jude Law'. In England anyway, that's my full name. That's the cheap language that's thrown around, that sums you up in one little bracket. It doesn't look at your life. But if one looks beyond, there is actually a little bit more.
~By Jude Law ~
If I can procure three hundred good substantial names of persons, or bodies, or institutions, I cannot fail to do well for my family, although I must abandon my life to its success, and undergo many sad perplexities and perhaps never see again my own beloved America.
