There's a customer in the pharmacy where i work named Onalee. My mother's name was Edyne (E Dine) and my father was William Fayette. My mother's family had some unusual names: Azuba, Amos, Orin.

I came from a family with different names--Harley, Fenton, Clyde, Earl, Bertha, Lena, Herman, Raymond, Lester, Faye, Edna, and Leo. I was named Jill Elaine, which I didn't like until I realized that with the family history it is hard to tell what else they could have named me. When my children (twin boys) were born I knew I wanted common names so they were named James Matthew and Andrew Michael.

One of my girls is Sabra, & her twin is Sarah. I've only met/talked with another Sabra once- she was a twin, too (brother was Solomon).

My dad had a friend with the last name "Rocco." Even as adults everyone called him "Rock." He seemed to like it.
