See, now that is a cool origin of a name. (Not to mention how awesome it must've been to meet someone and tell her that she'd made such an impact on your parents!)
I mean, sheesh. I got named after someone my mother described as a college classmate who "smoked like a chimney, drank like a fish, cussed like a sailor, and drove like a bat out of hell." Then I met my namesake, and... well, it's been several decades and no sign of slowdown in the hellraiser category. I remain dubious as to whether this is good, or bad... ;-)
