Horror fan names 6/6/06 baby Damien

Ananova:
A horror film fan gave birth to a 6lb 6oz (do you believe this weight?) baby on 6/6/06 - and called it Damien.
Suzanne Cooper named her baby after the devil child in the The Omen who was born on 6/6/66.
Special needs teacher Suzanne, 36, (that's 6x6) was induced for six days before Damien arrived at 6.59am. (well actually that's more like 7.00am) She said: "We are overjoyed about the baby. The Omen is one of our favourite films and that's why I was keeping my legs crossed for a birth on the 6th. "It does seem a bit weird I suppose, but he's a perfect baby - nothing at all like Damien in The Omen." (Cue spooky music)
Electrical engineer Mike added: "It was a devil of a birth - a bit of a horror show. (groan!!!) Once she went into labour it was straightforward, but six days in hospital is a long time to wait. (seems a bit extreme to me - does she enjoy pain?)
"It took a fair bit of persuasion for Suzanne to let us call him Damien but it seems fitting considering the date."

A lot of sixes there ..... Actually this story appeared in The Mirror -- so how much do you think she was paid for her story. I doubt it was a 6 figure sum :-)
