What's in a name?

[LBTC]

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?

I do know a woman named George, but she's not related to Foreman. She's a Political Science professor in North Carolina.

I went to school with a girl named Kennie. She had electric blond cork-screw curled hair and was completely insane and tons of fun. She was definately a kennie.
The one name that doesn't get me is Trudie, my mother's and great aunt's name. I can see a woman named Trudie, but I couldn't imagine a little girl named Trudie, just seems too grown up.
