to NOT want to do an online Walking For Fitness programme simply because the host of the site

[baubleybobbityhat]

is called Wendy Bumgardner?

well am I???

really? hahahahahahahaha

No doubt she has huge ishoes (good, eh?) with her name!

What's gone wrong with nominative determinism, why isn't she waxing hairy men?

She might be related to the American politician with an even better name: Randy Bumgardener. (Genuine BTW)

Ha haa! Wendy and Randy Bumgardner? Can't bear to think what their children would be named!

YABU because you are a lazy mare who is just looking for excuses not to exercise. [stern look]

Would it help you to think of her as Wendy Forester (assuming that the name was originally Baumgartner meaning 'tree gardener').

My favourite name/occupation overlap is Paula Nadelstern who designs the most amazing star-shaped kaleidoscope quilts and her name means 'needle star'.

I got talking to a qualified masseuse once. She was getting really pissed off at the amount of men who contacted her thinking she was offering 'other' services. Men should realise that not all ads offering massages are really prostitutes, but...that her surname was Lovecox, probably didn't help.

Oh dear, new scientist readers will recognise the whole nominative determinism topic rearing its wonderful head!

Her sister in law, Fanny Chmelar (German ski lady), is really very fragrant, I believe. And never sniffs.
