There's a funny thread going on in PE and it made me think of funny family names that are handed down from generation to generation.
My father's *real* name was...........Horace.
In Dad's high school yearbook his friends' inscriptions all started with "Horry"---can you imagine??? :rofl: Needless to say, when Dad joined the Marines :salute: he went by "Bus" or "Buster"----a common male nickname in those days.
But I digress.
So Dad's name was Horace.
And his father's name was............Horace.
And <u>his</u> father's name was............Horace.
Yes, my friends, that proud name went back <span style='font-size: 20pt'>7</span> generations in my family...and one family even named TWO sons Horace! :hammer:
When my brother was born....my father named him....
...(drumroll please)...
.............................Michael. :whew:
We also have a "Willadot" in our family back a couple of generations. Willadot was the daughter of William and Dorothy, of course you know! :slap:
So tell me about the funny names in your family. Did any of our beloved board members get saddled with the funny family name him/herself?
