I'm not clear about the point of all this. Out of all the gazillions of Sandras in the world, are Bullock and Dee really that special? Where will this end - Mickey, used by a famous mouse? Monty, as in Python? Sandra Dee, as in the song from "Grease"?Now, when it's a case like Vanessa, which was invented as a nonce name and then caught on, it's interesting and useful to know about Esther Vanhomrigh; same with Wendy and JM Barry and/or St Wendolin - but more or less random actresses? Why? (Believe it or not, I'd really like to know!)

And I don't suggest only actresses; for example for Dawn I suggest Australian swimmer Dawn Fraser and for Wanda Polish pianist Wanda Landowska!

I'm so sorryI was in such a bad mood when I posted that. I had been insulted by Constatine. I totally apologize for saying what I said, and next time will make sure to read your post more carefully. In hindsight, it is I who like an idiot.Haven

Don't worry Haven, I've forgiven you. In fact, I've already forgotten it.

About Sandra and Vanessa: I've read that Sandra Dee contributed to expand her name in the USA (I won't deny that Sandra could be a girl name before she made her apparition onscreen, but I think that when she appeared the name bloomed).Vanessa: I know that is a literary invention, but I'm talking of a bearer - a REAL PERSON!
