My least favorite thing is when people actually ask me if I was named after Gwenyth Paltrow's kid (yes it happens alot more than you would guess--I guess some people cannot do math that fast).

I have been a social worker for the past 9 years and have heard numerous hilarious and questionable names over the years. The spelling of names is also an interesting way people have found to express their child's individuality. A few examples, I can recall right now: Candy Cain, Cinnamon Burns, Commander, Narcissus, Teenie Dickie (not kidding, she went by Cherelle), Zorianna, and, J'Nasia. Of course, those are only a few. And, who can forget Bob Loblaw? I love these types of articles, but I actually have something to contribute!
