Lizzies

Lizzie Grubman was in the news a couple days ago, for not paying her chauffeur and hairstylist. In 2001, Grubman was asked to move her Mercedes from a fire lane outside a Hamptons nightclub. She responded, "Fuck you, white trash" in a fit of drunken rage and drove it into a crowd of people outside the club. Sixteen people were injured.

The only other Lizzie I've ever heard of is Lizzie Borden, the turn of the century spinster who may -- or may not -- have given her father and stepmother forty whacks.

Apart from those two, there's only Lizzie Mcguire, who is fictional, and doesn't count.

So go ahead and name your daughter Elizabeth if you like. But just don't call her Lizzie if you don't want her to become notorious.
