STRANGE or FUNNY NAMES

[mississippifarmboy]

This one's not weird really, but odd. I bought a cabin in Missouri several years ago from a man named Frank James. When we were signing the papers I made some smart comment about the outlaw Frank James and the man gave me a very odd look. After he left, his brother Bob who was the broker told me that the outlaw Frank James was their great grandfather.
See, I'm good at getting my foot in my mouth.

My friend named her daughters Eowyn (pronounced A O win) and Siddalee. Kinda different.

I know Sarah James, Great grandaughter of Frank James. She lives in Mt. View, Arkansas on the old James homestead place. Small world, or large family!

My family has a whole slew of them for several generations...Elisha (two of them...and one has a sister Eliza), Dempsey, Louisiania (yea..like the state with an extra I), Zima Lou, Alta, a number of May and Mae middle names (thankfully my dad lost and my middle name wasn't May..cousins daughter...Marley Mae), Marietta Gay (yea...she ended up changing her name), Marvin (not too common these days,but I like it), Elmer, Nellie (also went my Nell), Zane (not too uncommon), Grandma Elsie (again, not too uncommon), Grandpa Jules, Malia (cute name IMO and becoming more popular), Earl Carl (fine individually, but horrible together), Akimi (pronounced Uh-Keemee - cousin is half japanese and means beautiful autumn morning...gorgeous name!), got a cousin with Rayleen for a middle name, JB (never did hear that it was anything but the two letters), Aunts Glenna and Glenda (twins)....I am sure that more will pop in my head later.

The absolute worst though was a girl I went to school with....Anita Dickey.
