Help[Opinions] Re: ...Ledger. (m)
in reply to a message by Billina
Oh yeah, I remember The Cosby Show. I watched some of the reruns. Did you know that his full name was Heathclifford Huxtable? Quite a mouthful. They changed it to Heathcliff in later seasons.
I know he was never meant to be a role model. I just find it interesting that people would name their kids after such a dark character. I mean usually you would name your kid after someone with character traits you would want for your kid. My guess is that most people wouldn't want their child to be full of hate and anger. Yes, he was also intelligent and passionate but he was so awful to everyone except for Cathy. I don't have a problem with people naming their child Heath or Heathcliff, I like Heath myself. I just find it weird when people proudly explain to you that they named their child after him as if he were the greatest guy that ever existed. Sometimes that makes me wonder whether they read the book.
