List No. 459

People I have Heard Of Who Have Freaky Doubled-up Names.

1. Boutros-Boutros Ghali, Former Secretary-General of the United Nations.
2. Robby Robby Roenfeldt, former host, "C'mon Kids" (Formerly former host of "The Channel Niners").
3. Dee Dee Bridgewater, Jazz Musician.
4. Kris Kristofferson, legend*.

*The legend of Kris Kristofferson has yet to be verified. Despite a personal eyewitness sighting by the author in Melbourne, the Government of the United States of America still will neither confirm nor deny the existence of Kris Kristofferson to the public at large.

Would you count Gary Gary Beers of INXS?

Also, an amusing list of names can be found just by looking at the secretaries general of the UN over the past:
Gladwyn Jebb
Trygve Lie
Dag Hammarskjöld
U Thant
Kurt Waldheim (letting the side down)
Javier Pérez de Cuéllar
Boutros Boutros-Ghali
Kofi Annan
Ban Ki-Moon

Unfortunately this means that I will never be eligible for selection as a Secretary-General of the UN - a fact that brings me a significant amount of heart-ache.
