I wanted to name my daughter Dorothy Doddy, then I could introduce her as Dottie Doddy.  My wife still cringes at that.

When it came time to pick out a name for our son, I told my wife that whatever name(s) are in contention, they have to sound good with the suffix "private eye". This was an actual stipulation.  My son's name is Jake...Jake Doddy, Private Eye.  Sounds good, right?!  Wilford Doddy, Private Eye....uh...not so good.

francis arthur doddy...my real name

Woman Pregnant with 14th Child Will Keep Going       Until She Has Twins (Thank God for free medical       care!)
      
 
      
      
Sarah Foss, 39, got       pregnant at age 16 and was so traumatized by the birth, she swore off kids       for another 10 years. After having her second child in 1996, Foss has       gotten pregnant every year since then. Now Foss is pregnant with her 14th       child and vows to keep her OB-GYN busy, until he places a set of twins in       her arms.
      
      
The Derby, UK, "mum" says, "All I've ever wanted is twins or triplets.       It's my biggest wish, and I'm going to keep trying until I do it. It would       be fantastic. In fact, I won't stop trying until I've done it. I love       having babies - it's the most wonderful thing in the world."

Foss       swears that her children are not a bother at all. She and her longtime       live-in partner, Stephen Smith, 40, all live in a three bedroom house.       Smith works as a canal boat builder and Foss is a stay-at-home mom but       insists that they make ends meet by watching every penny that comes in to       the household. 

Belt-tightening is not an easy feat in the       Foss-Smith household. Each week the couple averages $1,000 on groceries       alone--32 loaves of bread, 75 pounds of potatoes, 126 pints of milk, 36       rolls of toilet paper, three large boxes of detergent, eight boxes of       cereal.

The busy mom is also very anal about keeping a spotless       home. So every day Foss gets up at 4 a.m. to make sure her family is not       viewed by the neighbors as "living in a pigsty and behaving as low-life       scroungers who beg off the state."

The couple's children sleep in       movable bunkbeds and cots, so that they can change them around at bedtime.       Two of her children sleep on an airbed. Foss says, that her household is       "a squash and a squeeze, but it's cozy. It's home." 
      
Just       in case you're wondering what her children's names are (from youngest to       the oldest):

      
Patrick named after Sara's grandmother's surname of       Patrick
      
Stephen -- named after his father
      
Malachai named after a character in the horror film, Children       of the Corn
      
Peppermint named after mints she craved       during pregnancy
      
Echo named after a group of eco-campaigners       who Stephen met during a job at work
      
Eli named after another character in the       film, Children of the Corn
      
Rogue named after a character in the film, X-Men
      
Frodo named after a hobbit in the film, The       Lord of the Rings(my personal favorite!)
      
Morpheus named after a character in film, The       Matrix

      
Artemis named after a book character, Artemis       Fowl
      
Blackbird named after a gathering of blackbirds which flew onto       Sara's lawn (I would kill my parents for naming me       this.)
      
Baudelaire named after the Baudelaire orphans       which featured in Lemony Snicket's film, A Series of Unfortunate Events
      
Voorhees named after serial killer,       Jason Voorhees in the horror movie, Friday The 13th
      
Thank god that       there is a huge supply of shitty movies so that they can continue to find       names for their progeny.
