Adrienne Yorinks: Hi. My name is Adrienne Yorinks, and now, I love my name, Adrienne, but when I was a kid, I wanted to be called Suzie or Sally, because nobody could say my name. They kept saying Andrea. They'd call me Andrea, and I hated the name Andrea, and I was really shy, and I would not be able to say anything.
So I was really, really happy when the movie Rocky came out. All of a sudden, everybody could pronounce my name, because his girlfriend's name is Adrian, and he always says, "Yo, Adrianne," so now everybody calls me Yo, Adrianne but it's better than Andrea.
