The power of a name

Meet Demetria Gene Guynes...

Er, now known as Demi Moore. Actually, Demi Kutcher.

The Ghost actress's parents' names were ordinary enough -- Virginia and Charles. But her mom decided to name her after a beauty product she saw in a magazine, possibly the Demetria Clark herbal lotion line. And the name Guynes came from her stepfather whom her mom married after her birth.

When she married singer Freddy Moore, she became just plain Demi Moore.

By the way, in between she was nicknamed Gimme Moore because of the demands she made on producers while filming.
