Post-Friday five.

Five stupid facts about names, in no particular order:

  • Thanks to a $10 million gift, Columbus Children's Hospital will soon break ground on the Abercrombie & Fitch Emergency Department and Trauma Center.
  • Eventually choosing "Gone With the Wind," Margaret Mitchell originally considered naming her novel "Tote the Weary Load."
  • At least 3 Americans are named ESPN.
  • In 2005, McDonald's offered rappers $5 every time one of their songs mentioning a Big Mac was played on the radio.
  • The Thai word for "Bangkok" is 164 letters long and tells the city's history.
