A few weeks ago I jokingly pointed out a NYT reporter whose middle name appeared to be "8". Today, on Slashdot, there was a post by a guy who wants to name his kid "J4ne7" (read: "Janet"). At the end of the post there was a reference to Jennifer 8. Lee. Apparently, her middle name really is '8'.

Poynter Online - Feedback: "FYI, Jennifer 8. Lee's name explanation ran in 1996 in the Globe. She wrote that its origin is Chinese numerology, in which the number 8 symbolizes good fortune. Parents apparently added the 8. to her name after seeing how common 'jennifer lee' was. "
