A word about the name Seven

The name Seven has cache up the yin-yang.

In the show "Married...With Children," the little kid that is living with the Bundys for a brief period is named Seven. I wonder what the origins of naming kids after numbers came from, especially in sitcomland?

On "Married...With Children," Seven's redneck parents explain it's because they've got "one, two, three, four, five, seven kids!"

What about the girl named Six on "Blossom?"

My friend's daughter just married a man whose last name is Fives: Wouldn't it be funny if Six from Blossom married Mr. Fives brother and they had a child named Seven. ;=) The Hermit (no number)

In "Blossom", one of the character's name is "Six". Go figure that one out!

Quoth [email]:

In the movie "The Big Night" (on video; even tho' it got "two thumbs up" I don't think it made it in the theaters) the two Italian brothers who are the main characters are named Primo and Secondo. ("First" and "Second"). Which reminds me of a joke: (Quick and dirty version):

A woman was in the hospital to give birth, and had twins, a boy and a girl. The law in that country required that children be named within 24 hours of birth, or else the hospital would give them a name at random. Unfortunately, it was a difficult delivery and due to complications, the doctor kept the mother sedated for all of the following day. When she awoke and realized what had happened, she asked the doctor, "But my husband is out of the country. What about names for my children?" "Don't worry," the doctor replied. "Your brother picked out names for them."

Knowing that her brother was really stupid, she feared the worst. "What names did he give them?" she asked. "Your daughter is 'Deniece' " the doctor replied. "That's not too bad," she said. "And my son?"

"He's Denephew."

I thought it was how many beers it took to get them drunk enogh to have the kid. The kids name wasn't seven it was 6 wasn't it?

No, that was on "Blossom".

No. Six was on Blossom. And the beer story IS correct about her Lauri

So in other words, if I had 12 kids, I could name the youngest "dozen"!

I would guess from Charles Schultz of the Peanuts comic strip. He had a character named 5.

If I had any cache, I'd put it in the bank, not up my yin-yang. ;=)

Sorry to nitpick:

Cache refers to a storage place. Cachet refers to distinction or prestige.

'Seven' has cachet up the ying-yang.

or you can have a Two marry Five and name the kid Seven...
