I once had a friend named Lorena. It's a pretty name, and unusual without being bizarre. However, of course, she's heard every Bobbitt joke in existance, and she's fed up.

Other names I don't envy: Monica, Homer, Bart, Madonna (my cousin is named Madonna--she was born long before the musician became known) and so on.

Even ordinary names have pop culture associations linked to them. Mike, my boyfriend, has heard the "He likes it! Hey Mikey!" line a million times. I have red hair, and have been on the busty side since I was 13, so I've been called Jessica Rabbit more than once. Sam has probably heard many Dr. Seuss references.
