My name is Arlene Jean. My mother was Dorothy Jean, then there was my aunt Corinne,( family name), my grandmother was Ida, never heard her middle name. My father's side there was Fredricka, aunt Sylvia,Esther, Mildred, Lyndel, and my father was Neil Fredrick. I'm sure there are more unfamiliar names but I can't think of them right now. :)

Now, I hardly notice when people mispronounce it. I was named after my grandfather's aunt who came from Holland. No one in our family met her, but I really like the idea of being named after someone.

My dad's name is Kalman and my mom's Marion. Haven't heard them to often.

My mom is Darlene, my Dads name was Raymond. Apparently after a rather loud discussion at the hospital, my grandmother (Clara) named me Raylene. Have only heard it a couple of times, most memorable was years ago on the Price Is Right. Rayleen.... Come on down. Next thing you know I was running to the TV.

my name is simply Lynn, but i get everthing from Linda to belinda, malinda ect. so i tell them " I'm not stupid, there's no DA at the end of my name, just Lynn"
Most people don't get it. |
I used to know an Onalee in Ithaca, NY years ago.
My middle name is Edna, after my grandmother. I always HATED it when I was young. I am still not crazy about the name Edna even now, but I do appreciate being named after my grandmother. |
My husband's aunts were Dagmar Signe, Elsie Eleanor, Helga, Hildur. His grandmother was Alfrida on his mom's side. My sisters are Josephine and Evelyn lucille. My great granddaughter is Edie Esme. (Edie after a great grandmother who is deceased.) Her mother is Kyle. My grandmother on my dad's side was Pasqua (apparently meaning Easter or Esther).My mom was Angeline. She was an angel to me!

My late husband's niece is Ona (I am not sure how it is spelled but it is pronounced with the short o). How about Thomas Jefferson(I can't remember her maiden name), because her parents wanted a boy. Needless to say she went by Jeffie. My Grandmother was named Galena, just like Galena Summit in Idaho.
