Interesting little phenomenon.

I keep seeing trailers on television for the movie "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby"

In the trailer they make a joke about how Will Ferrell's character has 2 first names, Ricky and Bobby.

Well when I was growing up, that was always something that made me different from other kids, since my name is Jeremy Henry. Jeremy is a first name and so is Henry.

In talking with Brian, he informed me of the fact that there are a lot of us "2 First Name" people out there, especially in Nascar. Flabbergasted I tracked down a list of all the Nascar racers for this year, to see who else has 2 first names, I was surprised.

Keeping with only first names that I recognize, and are recognized by the general population here is my list:

• Mark Martin
• Jeff Gordon
• Tony Stewart
• Carl Edwards (minus the "s"; if that doesn't count there's still more)
• Ryan Newman (like the Newman from "Seinfeld")
• Dale Jarrett
• Robby Gordon
• Kenny Wallace
• Brent Sherman
• Mike Wallace
• Bill Elliott
• Jimmy Spencer

I'm sure there are more that I missed, or the racer is retired, but I'm glad to see...I'm not alone.

Maybe it's time for me to take up a new career as a Nascar driver. Or maybe I could get together a JQ99 racing team and drive the JQ99 car...wait...I think number 99 is already taken. I'll keep you posted!
