The Infinite Mind - broadcasting on NPR and online Posted Fri, Feb 10th 2:09PM by Grace Lee An NPR-syndicated show recently interviewed me as part of a program they are doing on Names. Here's a summary. You can find out where and when it's broadcasting or listen to it online here.
This week on The Infinite Mind, host Dr. Peter Kramer explores the psychology and history of names, and how they shape our identity. We take a closer look at the curious coincidence of people whose names match their profession, and we speak with film makers Alan Berliner and Grace Lee, who both made documentaries charting their quest for the people who share their name. We analyze how products like IPod and Viagra were named with Steve Manning, managing director of Igor, a "naming company." William Bright, a linguist and anthropologist specializing in place names, tells us how places like Boring, Oregon and Intercourse, Pennsylvania got their names. And commentator John Hockenberry explains why names will never hurt him.

Grace Li Tue, Feb 21st 5:05PM Wondering if any of the Grace Lee/Li's would be interested in meeting up in Graceland one day??? Just a thought. | Kristina Erin Kaye Tue, Feb 21st 7:28PM Hi Grace,
I heard your interview today (2006.02.21) on my local public radio station. I thought it was so interesting that I had to come here and find out more about you and all the Grace Lee's in the universe. Congratulations on what you've done ... it is sooooo unique!
