I don't know anyone named Onalee, but it is a beautiful name. My real name is Tiny. Everyone thinks that it is my nickname. One time, I had to show someone my license because they didn't believe me. I have only met one other person who has my same first name. Would you believe that we live in the same small town in South Carolina? Her middle name is Jacqueline and mine is Anne. What a coincidence, huh?

I have a niece named Hallie (Hal.lee) I have a cousin named Kami. Some of the cousins have combined middle names such as Jaime GlaNel--grandmothers Gladys and Nelda. I know her sisters have odd middle names also but I can only remember hers right now.

My granddad was Oscar Pauline, my name is Julia Mae, my sons are Jeremy Dawson and Nicholas Wyatt (both middle names are family names), my grandson's are Barrett Dawson and Branson Kolby. I had never heard of anyone being named either of the grandson's names and it took getting used to, but now I love them. Also have g-son Austin Nicholas.

My parents called me Ginny for short and of course when you tell people what your name is they either call me Jenny or when they need to spell my name and I spell it for them they always spell it with a J in the front. Drives me insane.
