Then it will be Granny. I'm just warning you!
But I agree, I wish I had a unique name.
I think naming people after lit is great, there are way to many James and Bobs and Alexs etc. I have a friend named Lorien (everyone just calls him Lo) after Loth Lorien in LoTR.

I don't know if any of you watch Mind of Mencia, but he made fun of bad baby names on one of his shows. The only ones I can remember are Toprameneesha and Usnavy.

I'm not sure how Lorene could be pronounced Lorien?
Me, either. I meant the other way: both could conceivably be pronounced "Lor-EEN".

I saw something on the tube the other night with a young woman named Calvineeka.
