With the assorted "People-Who-Made-Lotsa-News-in-1997" lists and articles at the end of the year, I noticed that Tiger Woods was mentioned frequently. After thinking about it, I realized that I don't believe I've ever hear him called by anything BUT "Tiger." I simply cannot imagine his parents naming Tiger THAT as his given name, so wondered if anyone amongst our List-family can enlighten me. DOES Tiger Woods have a "real" name or IS Tiger "IT?" Ohhh... and prolly an email response directly to me might be better than with-it sports fiends publicly posting 500 answers to my question on the List. I can just picture how THAT would look to someone logging onto the List for the first time with all the questions, life-problems, and pain that is so often mentioned here and finding the discussion is about Tiger Wood's REAL name! OYEEEEEE! <grin> Thanks, sports-minded-people.... It'll be SUCH a relief to FINALLY be able to KNOW.... <smile> Barb Mallut [log in to unmask]
