What's in a Name? Does Danica's NAME Make Her Hot? An E-Crap Exclusive Danica Patrick was the only reason I tuned in to this year's Indy 500. I used to be a rabid racing fan, but over the years, I have migrated more toward NASCAR racing (like everyone else). Quick - name THREE race car drivers currently on the Indy race circuit not named Danica? Get my point? But why the obsession with Danica Patrick? Is she that hot? No. But she has a "hot" name. And her name (along with being a female in a male-dominated profession) have driven her career. Would FHM Magazine have done such a glitzy spread on Danica if her name was, say... Maude Patrick? Or Bernice Patrick? Lillian Patrick? Would you have had the same interest in this very average looking gal if her name was Jane and not Danica? HILLARY Duff. BRITNEY Spears. ASHLEE Simpson. LINDSAY Lohan. Ever see a non-airbrushed photograph of any of these mega-stars? Britney? Well, it was all about image, with her schoolgirl video. But the name did not hurt. The other listed are just plain scary looking without their makeup and airbrushing. And none of them have half the talent Danica has. None of them can legitimately carry a tune. But they all have cute to hot names. If Lindsay Lohan was introduced to the world as Ruth Lohan, do you really think she'd be where she is today? We men are obsessed with women. That is a given. And it does not take a lot for a guy to obsess over one. A nice tan... a nice chest... nice legs... and yes, a cute name.  Too bad gals don't have the same obsession. Guys can be named anything because women have a bit more substance in this matter. MEL Gibson. TOM Cruise. GEORGE Clooney. Nothing cute about those names. Just some food for though from your favorite and crappiest website. Bag
