When the English royal family was expecting a child a few years ago, people were suggesting names. I suggested that if it were a girl, she should be named Nannette, but an Englishwoman that I know replied, “no, no, Nannette!” She thought it would be inappropriate to give a French name to an English princess.

Babe Ruth was traded to the NY Yankees by Boston Red Sox owner who needed the money to fund a Broadway play named ‘No no Nanette’

Did she actually sat “no, no, Nannette!”?? That would be awesome and should have started an immediate breakout into song with a dance routine thrown in.
