So did the twin's names sound like Shaun and Don, or Sheen and Deen?

I went to elementary school with a girl named Sion...pronounced Shawn.

Maximus Loveless...the poor kid is only a year old, but it certainly doesn't look like his future romantic ventures are going to pan out. His parents are completely run of the mill, and I don't have the heart to ask them what they were thinking!!!

Years ago I had a friend who legally changed her last name from Loveless to Love. She just hated constantly having to declare or affirm herself as Loveless every time she said or heard her name. I applauded her decision! Originally Posted by iowagrad

In Memphis, there is a major road called Getwell. The Veteran's hospital is located on Getwell. Originally Posted by Starfish

The city wisely didn't think that the VA hospital shouldn't be located on Shotwell.

in that light... many of the locals find it slightly amusing that my office, Corps of Engineers, is on Leake Avenue.
