“The first time my brothers saw me, when I was a day or two old and still in the hospital, my brother Mark could not pronounce the name "Kimberley," and I was an especially happy baby, so he decided it would be easier to call me "Happy." From that moment on, my family members never used the name Kimberley.”

Happy Rhodes (1965) American singer-songwriter

On her lifelong use of the name &quot;Happy&quot;, in &quot;The Happy Rhodes Interview&quot; in Homeground #48 (Summer 1993) http://web.archive.org/web/20091023165015/http://geocities.com/SoHo/Studios/3450/homeground.html <br class="br">Context: The first time my brothers saw me, when I was a day or two old and still in the hospital, my brother Mark could not pronounce the name &quot;Kimberley,&quot; and I was an especially happy baby, so he decided it would be easier to call me &quot;Happy.&quot; From that moment on, my family members never used the name Kimberley. I was forced, however, to use my given name while attending school. As soon as I turned sixteen, my name was legally changed to Happy Tyler Rhodes. As far as I&#x27;m concerned, it&#x27;s the ony name I&#x27;ve ever had. When people ask me if it&#x27;s my real name, I always say &quot;yes.&quot;

“You call me Mr. Pitiful;
Baby that's my name now, oh.
They call me Mr. Pitiful;
That's how I got my fame.
But people just don`t understand, now
What makes a man feel so blue, now
Ooh, they call me Mr. Pitiful;
Cause I lost someone just like you, now.”

Otis Redding (1941–1967) American singer, songwriter and record producer

“"Yisgadal, veyiskadash, shmey raba… May His name be celebrated and sanctified…" whispered my father.
For the first time, I felt anger rising within me. Why should I sanctify His name? The Almighty, the eternal and terrible Master of the Universe, chose to be silent. What was there to thank Him for?”

“"Welcome, I'm master of the house" – a greeting I fall silent at.
"Welcome, my guest" – I have to answer, or give a bow.
Master, House – two names that have no shame attached;
but Guest and Lodging – the sense of shame you feel.”

Walther von der Vogelweide (1170–1230) Middle High German lyric poet
