I had a friend named Shirley Grubb. Didn't know her maiden name till she passed away. Now I understand why she never told me what it was!

no, but had an ancestor named Polycarp LaMothe Bryan.i thought the relative was female but it was male. and Polycarp was a Saint I think so this relative was named after the Saint. long ago, of course.

(R-rated, sorry) A friend named Harold Balls would NEVER use the nickname Harry, true story .My son's friend named his 2 daughters (born a year apart: Monica Marie and Marie Monica.
My daughter swore she would name her 1st daughter Velveeta. Luckily, she only has 2 sons so far.
I taught a boy who was called Tyke.

Went to scholl with a girl named Pandora. You got to know references where always made about Pandoras Box. Her father had a Karate Studio and she and her brothers were all active and belt holders. She was at that time my best friend and fortunately had a great sense of humor. Yes we were always in trouble!! The Dean made a mistake of making joke of her name, and his office was later found full of kotex pads!! and a note warning bad things happen who those who mess with Pandoras Box!!

Then there's "fruh-jill-ay". Mother named her after seeing that beautiful name on something in the delivery room. Spelled: Fragile.[/quote]
