The controversy over how to pronounce (as well as to spell) her name is what prompted me to start calling the gold dollar coin the Pompey, after her infant son, who is also on the obverse of the coin. Pompey wasn't his name, though that's what Clark called him.

I still think Pompey's a good name for the coin. "I'll see your half and raise you a Pompey." "I left a couple of Pompeys as a tip, and the waitress loved 'em."
