Oh my god, my teacher was just telling us a story about that! He was in Louisiana and met her! And he said there was another girl named like Rx-7 or something like that. It was the name of the apartment her mom lived in. That's so horrible :/

My friend and I know a kid whose last name is Maher. We had trouble pronouncing it at first, so we wondered if maybe it was just pronounced "Gomez." And he became Danny Gomez.
