No but seriously, your name is WHAT?
MSNBC has a reporter named "Willow Bay"? I thought I had accidentally switched channels to pay-per-view for a sec...

1. LOL
We have some local reporters with pretty weird names...you have to wonder if they were born with a name like that, or if they changed it later.

2. No joke
But a lot of those TV reporters have stage names. They do it not only for privacy and protection against stalkers, but for phonetic purposes as well. That is why you see a lot of alliteration in names.

3. She used to be on CNN
http://www.cnn.com/CNN/anchors_reporters/bay.willow.html

"From 1991-1998, Bay was co-host with Ahmad Rashad of NBA Inside Stuff, the NBA's weekly magazine show on NBC."

Now thats an impressive resume filler.

9. Vanilla Fudge on the BBC?
There's a female reporter on the BBC whose name I've been trying to figure out for months. I'm sure it's a very pretty name, but I have no idea what it really is. I swear everytime she signs off, I hear, "And this is Vanilla Fudge for the BBC."
