Selma Blair: I like to be called James

Actress says she prefers her middle name

Friday, 18 July 2008

Selma Blair isn't a big fan of her name.

The actress, 36, says she was put off it when she was teased as a child.

'In high school, when people found out my name was Selma they'd call me things like Smell-ma or Salmonella,' she tells the Daily Star.

'I still don't like my name. My middle name is James and I liked to be called that.'
