Example 1: When Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton visited the trendy Chelsea section of London in the 1970s, they decided they would give its name to the child they hoped to have, Chelsea Clinton said. "My parents were here during Christmas in 1978," the daughter of the former U.S. president said Monday as she visited the Chelsea Flower Show. "They were hoping to have a child and if it was a girl they said it would be called Chelsea. She continued, "They also loved the song `Chelsea Morning' by Joni Mitchell, which is great because I love my name. link
Example Deux: Chelsea Clinton revealed this week her loves for her namesake - Chelsea Football Club. I'd love to go to a game to watch my team Chelsea play", she told the Sunday Express at the weekend. "I know they are meant to be one of the best teams in the country and I feel pretty proud that we share the same name". The former president's 22-year-old daughter told of her interest in the footie (or "soccer") at the glamorous premiere of The Shipping News, staring Kevin Spacey, where she arrived at the Mayfair venue with boyfriend Ian Klause. Miss Clinton revelled that there was just one problem: "I wouldn't know how to go about organising a ticket," said the (ahem!) Oxford student. [Organising a ticket? Is that like buying a ticket?] link
I fear Chels may confuse her stories one day and claim to have been named after a football club, but I suppose "Chelsea F.C." is better than Buccaneers or Riverhounds as an inspiration for naming one's not-yet-conceived offspring.
