Newspaper Name elimination game!

I know that there are 13 million of these on here, but let’s go for it anyway.
These names are from the Births, reporters, Deaths, and stories from my local newspaper.
Tell us why you eliminated the name, and when a new list needs started, use your local newspaper too!

[name]Trisha[/name]
[name]Joe[/name]
[name]Madelyn[/name]
[name]Farrah[/name]
