James At after and an awful waste of time on my part, i’ve came to the conclusion that 2 syllable names also apply to this. for example, my name is nicole and you’d have to drag out the ending of the name with an extra syllable when singing just like you would with a name like “jack” or “jade”

It would not be suprising. In showbusiness having a stage name is pretty common, and many performers in UK are forced to change their name because of what Hugh said in that clip - you can't have two different artists with same name in the same union at the same time. For example David Walliams is actually David Williams, but there already was David Williams when he was joining the union.

The other Peter Dennis that Hugh refers to appears in Seinfeld as the theater director who asks Kramer to fire Raquel Welch. Which is probably the most boring bit of trivia you've ever heard, but it could come in handy if you ever go to a British and American sitcom crossover trivia night.

There kinda is some logic to not giving your kid a monosyllabic name. If you normally call them by the shortened version (Bob, Steve...) then use the full version when they're being naughty they know they're in trouble. With a one syllable name you can't do this.
@ameerhamid89

"A longer name makes the child have to remember and consider more syllables. It is such a tiny thing, but it sets the precedent and helps to encourage early growth. And a parent that does so is also more likely to encourage their brains in other ways" There's plenty of ways to give a silly statement logic 😄
The show seems a bit less refined now, not sure if that's a good thing. The questions feel less tightly structured, but at the same time it seems to allow more panellist interaction which is always great.
