I still go by LaHeather because it's really grown on me. I can't imagine having a typical name now. I detest it when people call me Heather.
My name definitly made me more interested in names. I didn't want my kids to have off the wall names that were going to be a PITA the rest of there lives (like mine) but I didn't want them to be Stephanies and Ashleys (I had 5 of each in my 5th grade class)
My son is Corbin and my daughter is Cosette. Not typical but totally classic.
My mom was planning to name me Heather but then when she had me, the only person from my (deadbeat) dad's family that came to see me was my granda Laverne. She was so happy to have her involved in my life that she added the La to my name.
I am glad I was born in a different state than my great-grandmother lived, so that she couldn't influence my mom to name me Katharine Laverne. I think she'd gone loony by then.
Opinions?
