Let's just address the name "London" for a second.

That has to be one of the worst names anyone could think to name their child. Not as bad as "Pilot Inspektor" but still. Wouldn't be surprised if there are actual people in the world named "Madrid", "Catalunya", "Tokyo", "Liverpool", "Halifax", "Camden", "Porto" and so on.

I am well aware that "Lisbon" and "Seville" are names too, it just just feels weird to choose cities.

The silver-lining is that not many have these names so it's easier to tell than "Muhammed", "Muhammad" or "Ahmed". It's rather confusing when calling out a colleague/person and they have these identical names, but at the very least their surnames tend to differentiate.

In Baltimore there was a ghetto thug named Dontay, yes, D O N T A Y. He and his crimes were in the news for months, and it cracked us up every time we saw the paper, so one day over lunch we challenged ourselves to come up with the most absurd names for girls and boys. Being medical biologists in general, the eventual winners were Meconia and Detritus. We were scared to check the social security name registry fearing that we'd been scooped. ;-)

Have you watched the last episodes yet - viz the reality of the name?

I watched the entire season one and know that 'London' isn't her real name but it's the one she uses the most.

My first thought was how horrible it would be every time someone said, "I see London..."

I guess the rhyme doesn't use Paris because she probably doesn't wear underpants.

My Chimp DNA seems to have lost its password temporarily. Sluggr-2
