What's in a name?

To protect our identity, I will not put the actual name...but Silver's name would be akin to Jone-Jones (if she hadn't dropped the maiden - fearing that it would sound like she was stuttering!).

Or incestuous

Where have I been? This thread is hilarious!

I had a girl in a class this year named Chardonnay.

I knew an Evan Evans.

I went to school with Shady Lane, and knew a Misty Dawn.

I met a man named Mr. Sansregret (I loved that one!).

One branch of my family was descended from William of Orange, and one matriarch gave each of her many children the middle name of "Orange."

I knew a guy named Falcon. I kind of like some of those names.

I like the names I can actually spell and pronounce, at least for the most part, at first glance.

I CANNOT believe the Abcde's. I mean?????

I once knew a Dancing Water.

I insured a car for a Mercedes. She was driving something considerably less prestigious.

I had a teacher whose maiden name was Sandy Beach.

In my father's catholic family, all of the boys had the middle name Joseph and all of the girls had the middle name Mary.

I had an Aunty Bunny. I did not know her name was Agnes until she passed away.

My own name is actually misspelled. My parents meant to name me after the beautiful, young, flower loving Saint Therese of Liseux; but instead I am named after the staunch german nun St. Teresa. Darn.

Hugs and butterflies,

Hey, as Gump would say, "Namesake is as namesake does!" If you are more beautiful, young and flower-loving than staunch, claim Therese!

My brother had a friend in elementary school named "George George George."

For a long time one of the popular trivia bits here at the University of Washington was the Forestry professor named "Anne Forrest Burns." (her picture is still on the wall in the Forestry department.)

My brother had a friend in elementary school named "George George George."

Which bring us to the offspring of George Foreman. How many sons does he have named George?

Daughters named George, too, I believe... or is that another of those urban myths?
