Memphis - BB10

I completely thought from the name Memphis, he would be a she...
I suppose you can't help what your parents name you, but if it's just a nickname, I think I've already lost all respect for him.

There is something familiar about this guy's face, but I can't put my finger on what it is.

OK, I'm thinking he resembles the guy, Michael, on Design Star, who cried and called for his mommy when he got eliminated from the show! Any other ideas?

He looks like he could be Pat Sajak's son. :lol

Looks like he and the cowboy are going to get along.... :confused

I just don't think Memphis is his real name. He is originally from Collierville, an affluent suburb just east of Memphis, TN. People who live in Collierville are not the sort who would name their son Memphis. Even as a middle name. His real name is something like Chad or Justin, I guarantee it.

I was thinking about that yesterday. What parent would name their child after a city in the state they are from?? I find myself :laugh at this whole name thing this season. Memphis, Libra.... :ohno

Welllll, some people name their children after the place they were conceived... Just sayin'.
Or maybe these people are using fake names the better to be able to deny it was them later! :) And to keep people from looking up their history on the internet and posting it far and wide....

:laugh PWS. I know there are some people named after cities, cars, candy, days of the week, etc. I just think he does not look like a Memphis.

It's interesting that the city of Memphis sounds like a female name to so many people, whereas no one had trouble with Boston as a boy's name (son of one of the Survivors a season or two ago). So it's not that all cities sound like women.

I assumed that Memphis was a boy's name. I really liked this guy until I watched the end of his interview with Diane and he stated that he didn't think that America was ready for a female of black president. I wonder how one defines "being ready." So he has to do a bit of damage control when he gets in the house for me.
