I would like to know the first name of Big Brother?

In the novel 1984 by Orwell, it is not clear if Big Brother is actually a person, or is an image crafted by the state. However, since Inner Party torturer O'Brien at one point tells Winston Smith that Big Brother can never die could Big Brother be a representation of GOD?

"At this moment the entire group of people broke into a deep, slow, rhythmic chant of 'B-B! .... B-B! .... B-B!'—over and over again, very slowly, with a long pause between the first 'B' and the second."

Spookie, as many religions right now could substitute B-B and still get the chant right.

Big Brother's real name on the TV show currently showing on channel 4 (UK) changes from male and female presenters.

My best guess is "Norman" & "Norma", but who knows and really; who cares?

The Orwell example throws up some interesting research avenues.

Yes, it's MY belief and ONLY my belief, Orwell was dipicting B_B as a RELIGION or POLITICAL system rather than GOD.

Tough one to call...

Perhaps your question should have been:

How many sad people are currently in the Big Brother House?

Answer: ALL OF THEM!

I like it, although the arguments get a bit boring.
