I have a good friend whose name is Onalee. She lives on a farm near me and is my "egg lady." It's a pretty name.

My husband a I both have different first names. Mine is Tressa I always get called Theresa. I have only met one other person in all my life who spelled her first name the same. Always went with a nick name (Terry). My husbands first name is Hoyt.

I have aunts named Lila Elidiva and Millie Erie Dean. I'm pretty sure my Mamaw lost her mind when she picked those names!

My middle name is Louine (Lou een) ... I only know 4 people with it ... my grandmother (her first name - her twin sister is Lorraine and they were known as Tene and Rainy), my mom's middle name, and I gave it to my daughter Meaghan. My ex mother-in-law is Rosella.

Too funny! We named our daughter Rayanna....pronounced just as it looks. She gets called Rayonna, Rayann, Breann, Breanna, Rhiannon, ect, ect. Then when you throw in her sister's name, Rosalee,...the two of them get a lot of Roseanna, Raylee, Roselyn, etc etc. They just respond to any R names now! HAHA! I thought our names were pretty simple too....but I guess not!

I had a professor a few years back whose first name was Tingle. She was one of the greatest teachers I've ever had. Of course we asked her about it; it was a family name.
Also, I've been teaching as a sub and have come across a bunch of beautiful and interesting names:
Cheetah, Tharen, Aunjanique, Hagar. I also know an Irving who is in HS right now. Such a cool kid!

Otha Mae, Mississippi....I knew a lady that was named Teollie Utsey, so I appreciated Otha for a name...

A friend just named her baby Imogen. She was looking for an authentic Irish name. I'd never heard it before.

Love the name Onalee!

Onalee! Isn't there a song out there with the name Onalee? Am I dreaming? Anyone know for sure. Love your name. Mine is Yolanda. I am 73 and my (Italy born) father named me after one of the King of Italy's (at the time) daughters. He had four. There is another Yolanda on the Board who was named after the 1930s 40s dancing star with a partner by the name of Yolanda and Valez.
