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... Wilford Doddy, 

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'Patrick named after Sara's gra
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.
