I heard of Stallone the other day, assumed woman.

That reminded me of another unusual name.

I read demi moores autobiography the other day and she said that she was going to call one of her baby girls

"Chaplin"

I've met a Tatum and an Aida too. I've only met one Aida in my life, i think it's unusual and pretty.
