Yesterday on Wait-Wait-! Don't Tell Me! (radio show) a caller was named Patience Waite.

a-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

A woman who entered a pie baking contest on TV was called Rain Goettis (pronouced "Goddess") - I was instantly jealous and covet that awesome cool name. I don't know if she was born a Goettis or married into the tribe - either way, it's sooooo freakin' cool.
