Did her mom read The Joy Luck Club?
in reply to a message by Liz
A little girl in the book The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan is named Waverly by her mother; she wanted to give her daughter an "American" name so she named her after the street they lived on. I had to read a passage from this book when I was young and always remembered Waverly because it's such a strange name.
