Where you named after anyone?

Apparently I was named after a character in a Paul Anka song. Unfortunately for the planned naming I turned out to be a boy so the name had to be changed at the last minute. I wonder if that goes part way to explain why some people have thought that I was gay.

When was the last time you cried?

Can’t remember. Years ago for a good sobbing though probably only months ago for a welling up of tears probably due to a movie.
