Well my first name is Justin by my last name isn't Timberlake. So if I joined an entertainment buissness there is no way he could sue me. That would be like Johnny Cash suing John Ritter for having the same name as him, John!2099net wrote:
No. They do have something in common. Both are in the Entertainment industry. Zomba records (or whoever) wouldn't let you become a singer with a name the same as, or similar to Justin Timberlake. The Screen Actor's Guild wouldn't let you become an actor with a name the same as or similar to Justin Timberlake either.

And your point is? It's like comparing apples to oranges. If your name was similar to Timberlake's you wouldn't be allowed to use it.Timon/Pumba fan wrote:Well my first name is Justin by my last name isn't Timberlake.

Joan Collins even shut down an act called "The Joan Collins Fan Club" which quite clearly wasn't Joan Collins, and quite clearly wasn't her Fan Club (it was a single comedian). Was Joan Collins wrong to sue?

I've heard of people changing their names to Luke Skywalker. Even naming their baby that.
I know a man named Fred Flintstone, and yes, his parents gave him the name Fred. That are so sweet
And I had a high school friend named Holly Wood. She was a buxom blonde, smart and tough too though
I ALMOST named by daughter Harley Quinn. I love that character, but then I kind remembered that SMALL detail about Harley Quinn was a shrink who went nuts and fell in love with the Joker and let the Joker abuse her because she loved him...So alas, she didn't get named Harley

I named her Alexia. After an online friend's RP character. And that same online friend had helped me through several dark periods in my life. Hope is her middle name, because that's what she gave me. 
Actually the name I came closest to right after Alexia was "Angel". My father is named Angel and Angel is a long running tradition for the boys to be named Angel and forms of Angel in Spanish. But I had a stupid fear that I would name her Angel and she'd end up being a hellion, LOL. Believe me, I've seen it with pets. At the grooming shop, every Snuggles, Cuddles, Angel, Sweetie, etc either tried to bite, scratch or kill you. And then the others just peed and pooed all over you.
She's 6 years old and let me tell you, Angel would have suited her just fine

Yeah, so one time there was this lady that had some complications during her pregnancy, and she was unconcious for several weeks after giving birth.
Her sister was there throughout all of it and took it upon herself to name the twins that were born.
When the mother awoke, she was given the news she had a boy and a girl, and was also informed that her sister had named them.
Knowing that her sister wasn't the brightest lady around, she quickly asked, "Well, what's the name of my daughter?"
"Denise."
"Well, I like that, it's nice. So what's my son's name?"
"Denephew."

Sorry, that kinda popped in my head after reading the last few posts!
Anyway, I happen to know two people named Charlie Brown, one that was born before the birth of Peanuts, and one that is around 25 years old.
