Personal experiences with the name Vanity: | Edit

I was named after the one and only famous one well known. People comment often on it and never in a negative way... although once someone thought she was a porn star... My question is since her real name wasnt Vanity, are there any others out there. Oh, and the name doesn't always describe me :)
