If you're the real Larry David, then the name "Seven" was your idea, surely?

8. Father: Michael Hutchence
Name: Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily

So Michael Hutchence's kid is gonna dig up his rotten corpse to give him a beating? That's rough, man.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 09:46 (twenty years ago)

she's gonna have to dig up Jim's common denominator too, grisly

― kit brash (kit brash), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 11:48 (twenty years ago)

Jonathan Davis of Korn named his kid Pirate. YARRR! Booty shall be scarce for him in his adolescent years, yarr

― Yejoon (Yejoon), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 12:04 (twenty years ago)

I don't think all of those are that bad. Elijah Patricius whatever is bad only because they apparently decided to give him every name they could think of. Assuming he doesn't go around asking to be called by them all, he should be pretty beating-free. I don't like Destiny as a name, but it seems to be hugely popular right now. Apple is kind of silly, but here's really no *reason* why it's worse than Rose or Ivy other than cultural bias. Plus, she has two decent middle names.

OTOH, there's no excuse for the names of Paula Yates' daughters, or for Jermajesty or Prince Michael.

― Lyra Jane (Lyra Jane), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 12:54 (twenty years ago)

Isn't "Destiny Hope" somewhat inherently contradictory? Is the baby a bastion of free will, or not?

Vintage LPs are gaining cult status among modern music-lovers, according to charity Barnardo's, which has seen a surge in demand for vinyl in its shops.

The children's charity is appealing for people to donate old albums because stock is low after "a distinct upturn in vinyl sales" in recent months.

Retail development boss John Ellis said: "For music aficionados, there is real cachet in owning original vinyl."

The Beatles' Sergeant Pepper is the most requested album, Barnardo's said.
It is followed by Country Life by Roxy Music, Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones and Rapper's Delight by The Sugarhill Gang.

"Many of our shop managers are deluged with requests for certain artists and records," Mr Ellis said.

"It appears that records and albums from the 1970s and 80s are proving most popular, and we think that it's part of a wider trend for all things nostalgic."

Records by Madonna, David Bowie, Prince, Pink Floyd, the Happy Mondays and The Clash are also heavily requested, he said.

Barnardo's has more than 330 charity shops across the UK.

1. The Beatles - Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
2. Roxy Music - Country Life
3. The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers
4. The Sugarhill Gang - Rapper's Delight
5. Madonna - True Blue
6. David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
7. Prince - Purple Rain
8. Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
9. Happy Mondays - Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches
10.The Clash - London Calling
