Hehe I love obscure John Doe names based off real people. My favorite, though technically not a person, is Alan Smithee, the pseudonym used by directors who take their name off their movie.

I was laughing at the sitting chapter with Jamie Newton in Ghost at Dawn's House when he will not go to sleep. I can relate to this as when I used to have trouble going to sleep as a kid, I would do the same type of things and it would make my mom so mad after a while. I thought it was funny to read about a kid doing similar things but don't think I would want to deal with it. ;D

^ That's the one. ;D Another Jamie moment I love is in Saves the Day (I think) where he is pounding his chest and yelling "I'm King Corn" ;D

Jamie singing, "Home, home on the range, where the deer and the antinope pay. Where seldom is heard a long-distance bird and the skies are not crowded all day."

On the other hand, it's probably playing on the old term, King Cotton.

You know there's got to be a James Newton out there somewhere, born about 1982....
