* a new Sterlin and Marlin: The New Year's first baby born in Roanoke, VA. will carry NASCAR Winston Cup driver Sterling Marlin's first name, and the baby's younger twin brother will be known by the racer's last name, Marlin, according to a report on WSET-TV in the Virginia city. Gwendetta Jamison gave birth to Sterling at 12:21 a.m. on Jan. 1, and Marlin entered the world at 12:50 a.m. While Jamison loves racing, she told the TV station that it was the father of the twins who named the boys. Jamison's grandmother, Linda, is a NASCAR fan herself and would have preferred the parents name the children "Kyle" and "Petty," but she let her daughter go with her own name. WSET reported that Sterling weighed five pounds, 13 ounces, and Marlin came in at six pounds, one-and-a-half ounces.(FoxSports)(1-3-2003)
