5 Star Mods in the Limelight

[Linda Buquet]

Tellie (wink on the spelling) I wondered about that. Changed.

Mike I stole that name from my X. Wish now I would have gone back to my maiden name. MERCHANT.
Linda Merchant. Would have been kind of funny in this business of dealing with affiliates and merchants.

Telian Adlam - imagine the possibilities LOL. (And thanks for the update.)

I think Linda Buquet sounds pretty cool, and Merchant definitely would have been cool too.

Okay, now am I just nuts for this? Recently (as in a last year, or the one prior) a movie came out called The Forgotten.

I did a double take when I heard the main character's name would be Telly (that's how my name was spelled up until my Sophomore year of college - don't ask).

Not convinced, I went and bought the movie and while watching it, I proceeded to yell at my television set in anger b/c they stole my name. How many people (besides Aristotelis Savalas) do you know named Telly?

Imagine the abuse we Teli's (or Telly's) grew up with, then to have some actor come in and pillage our name for all of, what? 6 months? They haven't earned the right to use a name as unique as that.

(Can you tell I'm very attached to and protective of my name?)

I often wonder how the people with names like Jennifer or John deal with characters having their names in movies. It's just a weird feeling.

Okay, done with my completely off-topic rant

Well, I remember how much teasing I took from my sisters when the movie "Short Circuit" came out. And my daughter gets people thinking all the time that we named her "Ariel" for "The Little Mermaid"... actually it was my husband's favorite character in "The Tempest". Of course, at 3-1/2, she thinks it's pretty neat. At 3 years of age she was mad about it, though.

hehe - isn't it funny how quickly we grow up in half a year?
