Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, and thanks to the comments there, I learned that Beth Riesgraf is Pilot Inspektor Lee's mother. I had no idea!
I am learning all kinds of celebrity facts while I avoid doing my job today.

Because books.
Pilot will forever be the name of Rochester's dog. To me, anyway. I like to think Jason Lee was the one responsible for that name.

On the female FCM, I am one with le nubian.
Yeah, le nubian's got it right. As for the male FCM: Marry Eccleston and go with him on fabulous adventures throughout space and time, and go out for dinner with Glass and Sheppard and listen to lots of dishy behind-the-scenes Firefly stories.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm choosing to believe that the at-least-two people who named their daughters Ace are Doctor Who fans and therefore we should not make fun of them. (Or at least, I shouldn't.)
I give no such quarter to the at-least-two people who named their daughters Excel and Fedora.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Because books.
I have no idea who that is.
Beth Riesgraf plays Parker on Leverage.

Those are some wacky-ass baby names. Of those on the list, I have known actual children named Fedora and Tigerlily. (And they messed up with a few: Shimon, for example, I think they included thinking it was some typo of Simon, but hello, Shimon Peres? OTOH, there's no excuse I know of for Donathan. D is noplace near J on the keyboard.)
I think the wackiest baby name of anyone I have actually known was Sha'Miracle.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I don't really mind product placement, if it's done well. The real world isn't generic. No one sits at a bar and orders a "beer" except on television. In television land, there seems to be only one kind of beer, whiskey, vodka and so on.
