Double Whorl

Here's a picture of the back of F's head. I think it is terribly interesting (and cute!) that she has a double whorl!

I was curious as to how often this occurs, so I did a little research (don't you love Google?) Here's what I learned from a hair restoration site:

• Each individual whorl is unique.
• The most common is the clockwise whorl.
  
• The next most common, which occurs in about ten percent of men, is the counterclockwise pattern of the whorl.
  
• About four percent have a double whorl, with a whorl on the right side of center and a whorl on the left side of center.
• A single gene controls handedness and whorl orientation (from a genetics study)
• A counterclockwise whorl is more common with left handedness while ambidextrous individuals commonly have a double whorl (from forhair.com)

It is hard to tell on girls with long hair, but our other three seem to have clockwise whorls, although G is definitely left-handed. Do you or someone you know have a counterclockwise or double whorl? I don't remember seeing one before, though I don't make a habit of looking at the backs of people's heads (unless they are my babies)!
