Paul Tollett
It's not like it's a family name.
Laurie Berning
What else can you name that has gone up that much? Probably not even gasoline. You have to ask why. The only conclusion I come to is, the federal government has grown bigger and bigger and has taken on more and more of the states' job. Government has become everything to everybody, and it was never meant to be.
Ralph Mcgill
The clothes are very expensive, so it's geared toward people really into fashion and name brands.
Mandy Ohman

Jeff has more experience running the offense but Brandon brings a style that is hard to defend and he makes things happen out there. I don;t know that I'll name a starter until probably the day before the game. They are very close and what I'm hoping is that one of them will breakout by midseason.
Bruce Miller
What I can tell you, in the name of my colleagues and our leader Gilles Duceppe, is that we've had enough, ... Together, all the Bloc MPs intend to reverse the trend.

We were growing, changing and adapting. The name no longer adequately portrayed what we do.

We're just changing the name to better reflect the wider array of the services they perform.

Until they were apprehended, they were merely paper photographs to me. It's very difficult to have a name and a face for the men who hurt my child.

The Pentium name is the quintessential name of the gigahertz era. The gigahertz era is over.
Bill Calder
My mother, father and birth-mother were pro-life and pro-adoption. Because they were, my father made me a Reagan. I've come to honor my father, not to politicize his name.

Stewart's reputation is muddled right now. And even though she's no longer CEO of her company, her name is on the building.

I look at this exactly as the race fans do. I'm going in there to do the Super Bowl. This is a huge challenge. Very few guys have had a chance to call the Daytona 500. I'm happy to add my name to that list.
Bill Weber
Putting those global prestigious names into our line will complement our name.
Ted Baseler
We are using Tom Wolfe's name as a brand, rather than the title of the book. He is an icon himself.

Assemblyman Richard Merkt
Wine culture is so complicated that sometimes people come up with the name based on the label alone. It needs to be pleasing.
James Trent
The real work of domain name system happens in a very distributed, very decentralized way.
Andrew Mclaughlin
His name is vaguely familiar. Basically, I agree with everything the New Labour candidate said about the First Minister.
Jack Mcconnell
I didn't even know he was on that policy advisory board. The council's action was to remove him from those boards. Whether that one was mentioned by name or not, I think that was our intention.
Chuck Reed
I told the detective that I got married because I wanted the baby to have his name. I wanted to be married when the baby came.
Lisa Clark
I think it's a great move for Motorola. GIC is the leading maker of cable set top boxes. Slap on the Motorola brand name and distribution and it's a real good move for Motorola.
David Toung
These well-known name stocks have momentum. The money keeps flowing in. Those traders are unconcerned about the gold market.
Doug Myers
I was frustrated that just because of his name, he was getting all this ink. All he had to do was respond like everyone else and he would be one of the remaining groups. But he didn't do that.
Byron Koste
I don't recall your name but you sure were a sucker for a high inside curve.

I want my name back.
Richard Jewell
I can't disclose the name of the company yet, but if all goes to plan it hopes to be up and running by the end of March. We have identified a site fairly close to the fish docks.
Steve Norton
I've met him a couple times. We laughed about the name being similar. I've never had any business with him. I have had no business with him and no business with Frances Deane. I don't know that I've ever met Frances Deane.
Monte Miller
I sometimes lie, especially about personal things, because what does it matter? I am a kind of minute commodity, my name is no longer my own.
River Phoenix

Owen Black
If we knew it was going to become famous, we would have given it a better name.
William Herbst
We're not shy about using that name to get people out to see us, but once they're there, we hook them in with Naked Beggars songs. But we do a few Cinderella songs.
Jeff Labar
The restaurant name means soaring higher and higher.
Jiang Baoguo
The bottom line is, that's what good players do. The ones who you end up knowing their name, they make plays when the game is on the line. There's no doubt with Josh. Not only does he want the ball, but he steps up and makes something happen.
Dave Mislan
We have no reluctance to sue the federal government. Our involvement will be based on how we feel about the legal analysis and whether we think there is value added to having Vermont's name on it.
William Sorrell
I know what he was thinking. 'If I can't beat this train, my name isn't Jesse McDonald.' He is always taking chances. He wanted to be different.
Alice Sousie
He'll run in Jeremy's name. He knows the horse and he knows his way around there. He's familiar with the surroundings. It's a win-win situation for everyone.

Guru Gobind Singh
That's wonderful. What's her name?

Arnaud Nourry
Those are big shoes to follow and I try not to label myself with anyone else's name. But I guess he's the closest one I compare to. I'm really comfortable catching the ball and being more of a receiver. That's something I've been working on too.
Carl Stewart
There would be no better man to replace Eriksson. Sam would have no problems dropping big-name players.
Phil Brown
One of the most profound things for me is that my character's name was held by somebody, ... It's not just made up.

We approached it like any other game. They're like teams in the Missouri Valley. They're big-name schools, but we've beaten teams in the same fashion.
Sean Ogirri
Mr. Meant-to has a friend, his name is Didn't-Do. Have you met them? They live together in a house called Never-Win. And I am told that it is haunted by the Ghost of Might-have-Been.

Prince Harry
We have enough evidence to name him a suspect.
Bambang Kuncoko
Just having your name tossed around, it's amazing.
Lastings Milledge

Mark Mcclellan
It's a big deal to change a name.

A lot of our music is focused on searching for spirituality and on the man holding us down. 'My Own Prison' is a good name for the album because it was about us trying to break out of it.
Mark Tremonti
When his name is added to those of Pleyel and Kozeluch, Scottish melodies can boast of being harmonized by the greatest luminaries of modern music.

Bart Simpson
You don't have a family. You don't know the name of the child. Nobody reported her missing. Usually, we help look for missing children. This time, we're out looking for clues to the identity.
Stephanie Parker
I told them I'm out. I did my deal and said if you want to run it as a bar, my name has gotta come off the name of the corporation.
Peter Lyden
The greatest single advantage they have is the name of the party. A lot of voters will pull that lever because they believe (candidates) are independent.

Tami Harrison
He fished out stuff from under there (the cabinets) ? old tokens, Mercury dimes, you name it.
Chris Malland

She was bonded out on the false name she gave us.
