Celebrities of any type?

In that case....in the category of "early pets" (circa elementary school) I had two hamsters, Snoopy and The Red Baron.

I named my first car, a (1973?) VW 412 wagon, Mr. Zip - after the US post office cartoon character/logo of the time.  That car had no pickup.  Whatsoever.  Always interesting to try and accelerate onto a highway, especially if the on-ramp went up a hill.  I even had a Mr. Zip decal for him, which I probably found somewhere, and then decided the characterization fit the car (rather than the other way around). 

I guess I must have had an unconscious attraction to cartoon characters.  Although there was a novelty song about The Red Baron (can't remember if Snoopy was in the song) around the time of the hamsters, so I may have really gotten into the characters and the names because of the song.  I wonder if I have the 45 around somewhere....hmmmm....

I spent about three years with a hideous Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen obsession (I'm the same ages as them, so it's not that bad..it might have been different if I was older)...I'm proud to say I'm over it now by the way..but yeah, I was very obsessed and went through a phase of honestly intending to call my children Mary-Kate and Ashley.

The horror!

Hello,

Can anyone tell me what Bob's middle name is?  I remember that his name is Robert Fredrick ___ Geldof, but for the life of me I can't remember his second middle name. 

I'm trying to think of an original name for our new puppy.  Our friend got his dog first and named his "Bob".  When the dogs are together, you can imagine the confusion for the poor pups if we yell their name

I have his first book "Is That It?" but because we are in the process of moving I've packed it already.  I know the information is in there.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

Kristina

Thanks Johanna!  I thought that might be it...when I looked up the word on www.dictionary.com it defined Xenon as "A colorless, odorless, highly unreactive gaseous element found in minute quantities in the atmosphere".

That doesn't descibe Bob at all!

I think Bob's second middle name is Zenon with Z. Who was a Greek philosopher:

The Greek philosopher Zenon, who lived almost 2500 years ago, came up with strange ideas. One is the famous race between Achilles, the fastest runner of Greek mythology, and an old tortoise [1]. Achilles, as a true hero, agreed to give the tortoise an advantage and the tortoise started 10 m in front of Achilles. For Achilles to get in front of the tortoise, he first had to run to the place where the tortoise started. But in that time the tortoise had covered some distance, which Achilles now had to run in order to catch up. However, in this time again the tortoise had gone some distance and Achilles was still behind the tortoise. This process continued forever and apparently Achilles could never pass the tortoise. Our everyday experience suggests that Achilles, even suffering acute problems with his heels, could easily pass the tortoise. Nevertheless, Zenon's arguments are appealing and therefore this problem is called a paradox. This classic story reminds me of some paradoxes of current nephrology: how much should we reduce blood pressure for optimal renoprotection in chronic renal diseases? Does the type of antihypertensive drug matter? Is albuminuria rather than blood pressure a target for treatment with antihypertensive agents? And, could we ever win the race and not only halt progression but also stimulate regression of chronic renal diseases?
