You answered your own question..It's because a lot of people have confused His title with His name.

It's a corruption of the word 'haddocks'. Think it started in the thirties. Charlton always treated the opposition to fish & chips, they didn't bother to ask everyone what they wanted, just ordered haddock & chips for all. The visiting team would call them the haddocks, ie; ''we're playing the haddocks next''. Over time it became corrupted to 'addicks'.

Is it fair that Prince William gets to be king and I don't?\n\nIs it fair to everyone else in the UK that their tax dollars go to support a family of unelected morons?\n\nLife isn't fair.  From where I'm sitting, Prince William is one of the luckiest of us.

I'm really pulling for Adam Morrison and Brandon Roy. I've been a Washingtonian (the state) my whole life, and it's been a long time since we've had two prospects of such high calibar. Also, both are such great success stories and all-around classy guys.  Morrison's quite the human interest story too, with his battle of diabetes.

Because according to Louis, 'the whole of Scotland is voting for them', they're not safe anymore though unfortunately! I reckon they could be out this week.\n\nOn another note, why oh why is Ray still in the competition? It's not 'The Swing Factor' and personally I'm not impressed that he's turning all of his songs, week after week into Swing. Surely the idea of someone having the X factor is that they can deliver a variety of songs and styles .... I'M BORED OF IT!

Everyone is saying it's not him, but Yahoo! staff begs to differ. People act like celebrities don't have questions too. Anyways, maybe he was in a hurry or maybe someone else on here is using William's name the way it is supposed to be spelled so he chose the next thing he could come up with. It still is pretty funny though!

NO, they are NOT openly gay.\n\nseigfried and roy are no heroes to the gay community. they let gay audiences "get it" so they could make more money, but they have never come out publicly. in 2003 they were the 9th most prosperous celebrities - imagine if they had been open and honest and out to the world what impression that could have made on all those fans out there.\n\nthey've never denied it, but they've never been out and honest and proud about it. look at their own site:\nhttp://www.siegfriedandroy.com/biography/partner.php\n\nall it says on wikipedia is: "For many years, they shared living quarters, and the conventional wisdom in Vegas is that they are former gay lovers."\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siegfried_and_Roy\n\nthe gay magazine - the advocate - said that they have "studiously avoided actually stating that the two were once involved romantically"\nhttp://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1589/is_2003_Nov_11/ai_111166126

Neil Ruddock\n\n\nNeil "Razor" Ruddock (born 9 May 1968 in Wandsworth, London) was an English footballer, playing as a central defender.\n\nHe made his debut at Millwall F.C., and he had a long career playing for Tottenham Hotspur F.C., Southampton F.C., Liverpool F.C., West Ham United F.C., Crystal Palace F.C., and finally a short-lived spell as a player/coach at Swindon Town F.C..\n\nA crowd favourite, his appearance at Swindon made him an instant cult figure. Relations turned sour when Ruddock refused to quit after being advised to do so by a specialist; during a period of time where the club was in serious financial difficulties. The club responded by appointing Steve Coppell as assistant manager and taking Ruddock's coaching duties away. The board eventually stopped paying Ruddock's wages in an attempt to drive him out. He took the club to a tribunal over the unpaid wages, and a deal was made where Ruddock's contract was terminated, in return for a six-figure payment.\n\nHe was also accused by Crystal Palace chairman, Simon Jordan (in his fortnightly article in The Observer), in November 2005, of "taking the team out and getting them wasted when we were fighting relegation."\n\nHe only won a single cap for England, playing in a friendly against Nigeria in 1994. He also had four caps for the England Under-21 squad and one for the England B team.\n\nHe became a household name after appearing on the third series of I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!. He exploited this by recording a charity single, a version of Jungle Rock, with fellow contestants Lord Brocket and Mike Read, but this was only a minor UK hit.\n\nHis nickname of "Razor" is taken from the boxer Donovan Ruddock's nickname. Donovan Ruddock's boxing career peaked at the same time Neil Ruddock was playing football.

More thought-provoking questions, I see.  Bravo!  Actually, I seem to recall an episode of I Love Lucy where Ricky was speaking Spanish on the phone to someone and he gave his full name as something like Ricardo Alberto Ricardo y de Hacha.  The "y de Hacha" part is his second last name, which all Hispanics have but do not use in this country. So, it would seem that his name really is Ricardo Ricardo and I would guess he uses Ricky Ricardo as his professional or stage name.  Good question - really made me think.

It's too much. You have decide amongst the names you have listed there.  I like James Day personally.  James Austin Day.  That's a tight name.
