I don't think I've ever met another Tonya that I liked. It's not a very common name, but I have known of a few other people who share it, and I haven't had much in common with any of them. Of course, there's always the inevitable Tonya Harding joke. And another Tonya caused some waves on The Real World: Chicago a few seasons ago. Here's a rundown:
Tonya Harding
Infamous for:
Obviously, this Tonya is most known for the incident with fellow ice skater Nancy Kerrigan during the Winter Olympics several years back. Afraid of losing her chance at the gold, Tonya got someone to whack Ol' Nancy on the knee. Not that I necessarily blame her; that Nancy was sort of a bitch. Anyway, the whole thing backfired, Tonya got caught, and Oksana Baiul ended up taking the gold.
Currently: She's since been banned from ice skating, but never fear, Tonya fans: she's starting a more fitting boxing career.
XXX: Tonya also gained some notoriety when a raunchy videotape from her wedding night was discovered. There has also been some speculation about her having breast augmentation, but a Tonya fan site proclaims her boobs are real, just "surgically enhanced" (and that would be different how?)
Tonya from The Real World: Chicago
Infamous for: Sure, the castmates on RW may have their differences, but Tonya's roomies could all agree on one things: Tonya was annoying as hell. Originally from the small white-washed Washington town of Walla Walla, Tonya was pretty naive. Tension with the black and gay housemates was expected since she admitted she didn't know any black people and disapproved of homosexuality, but by the end of the show all of the cast--black, white, straight, and gay alike--had their fill of Tonya's melodrama (she spent the whole season bemoaning her kidney infections). The highlight of the season was when Tonya's roommates, on a trip sans Tonya, started singing a song mocking her. Some later expressed remorse for being so cruel...until they realized she was on the phone with her boyfriend dissing her roommates the whole time they were gone.
Currently: Still milking the money cow that is the Real World on this seasons Real World/Road Rules: Battle of the Sexes 2. Her last episode aired recently, as she was voted off. She's managed not to cause too many tifts, though cast member Tina absolutely despised her (Tina's even worse than Tonya, though).
XXX:She's gone from being a naive girl from a small town who'd only had one boyfriend to a heavy drinking, boob-flashing party girl. And she admittedly has implants.
Tonya, who runs this website (AKA me)
Infamous for: Nothing. I may come off like an opinionated bitch in some of my posts, but in real life I'm quiet and unconfrontational. I don't party, don't drink, don't hire people to hit my arch-nemesis with a metal pipe, don't even have any arch-nemeses and am fairly easy to get along with.
Currently: I'm a baby-sitter and sometimes art student (taking at least a semester off) who still lives with her parents at the ripe old age of 23 (24 in one week).
XXX: Nothing scandalous to talk about in the sex department to say the least. I'm consistently single and have never been in a serious relationship. Draw your own conclusions. And my boobs are real, FYI.
So, there you have it. I may share a name with these girls, but there's no getting us confused.

Your boobs are real... what, exactly? That sentence screams for an adjective. Hasn't Mad Libs taught us anything?
I meant real as in not fake. And real is an adjective.
