Frank Zappa. Brilliant, but a little odd.

Along with Dweezil, he had a daughter he named Moon Unit.

My DH name is Walter, an old name and one of my grandson's got that name too. We have a DGGGD named Nevaeh. It is Heaven spelled backword which I thought was a strange name but have heard now of others.

There is another Yolanda on the Board who was named after the 1930s 40s dancing star with a partner by the name of Yolanda and Valez.

That's exactly what I was thinking! I thought of "Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea. And (something) in the autumn mist in a land called Onalee"?

I think it's Honah Lee, Hawaii

I made it up. I had been reading a book where the main character was a male elf named Caitlin and I have a cousin named Katrionna which I also liked but wanted to change it up so I figured Caitrin was close enough and it is also close to the name Catherine which was her father's much loved paternal grandmother.

My name is Sue Ann. Because my mother's name was Barcie Opal and she always had to spell her name. My daddy would call her B O for short - made her so mad. My daddy's name was Sparlin Isaac - changed it to SI when we moved. Someone send a christmas card addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Sparkling ____.!
